There is a diag port on the panel below the steering column. Any OBDII reader can get the generic codes, but the special VW codes can only be read with a VAS5052 or VAG-COM software.
You will need to know what the codes specifically are first. Then you can attempt to fix it yourself if you are mechanically inclined. Because you mentioned them being air codes I would suggest you look at all of the vacuum lines for cracks, that may be the problem.
To answer the code, look at the book they give you when you buy the car. If you do not have that, then you are in trouble. Nobody cares anyway. Just go to a volkwagen retailer and find out or something

There are hundreds, if not thousands of possible codes.
If you are referring to the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), you can go to your public library and check out a Haynes or Chilton's Repair Manual for your vehicle. Chapter 6 in either book will have instructions on how to retrieve the codes, what the codes mean, and how to fix/repair/replace the component(s).
That comes on after cycling the key three times to see any trouble codes. Done, is either end of codes, or no codes present.That comes on after cycling the key three times to see any trouble codes. Done, is either end of codes, or no codes present.
