It probably was tripped when the plugs were determined to be worn out. If it's anything like a lot of the sensor fault codes on these cars, you may have to manually reset the warning light with VagCom - a lot of the codes we get can't be reset simply by disconnecting the battery or changing the part.

I'm taking a shot in the dark with this one, but that's what seems logical to me.
