Did you save a copy of the scan, and if so, could you attach it to a post? The reason for that is because the 'freeze frame' stuff and other information may help others identify the problems.

I'll also assume that the 'tested since memory clear' means you scanned it, got those errors, cleared them, drove it, scanned it again and they're no longer there. That being the case, I can only suggest that those may be things to keep an eye on.

00979 - Possible causes are faulty bulb, faulty wiring or control module coding. The obvious thing is to check if the bulb is actually working. With that being the case, I'd then suggest swapping the headlight bulbs over and scanning again, and see whether the error code swaps as well (indicating it's the bulb) or stays where it is (wiring or module). I'm aware that you had shoulder surgery, so doing this yourself may not be an option.

01303 - Although it mentions telephone, the code seems more aligned with Bluetooth issues. That gives a couple of options. Does VCDS connect to module 77? If not, it may just be a physical connection issue, but I don't know where it's hidden. If there is a Bluetooth issue, then that module tends to be hidden under the passenger seat, and could be a faulty module or bad connection.

01044 - Exactly what it says. Chances are that someone has been in there before and made a change, and now it's reporting that it's incorrectly coded. I had a similar issue when trying to sort out a Seat Toledo for a friend, as it kept saying the steering wheel was incorrectly coded! He also mentioned that the cruise control never worked from when they bought it secondhand. It turns out it also had an on-board computer (for fuel economy and all that) that he wasn't aware of. To sort this out, you would need to go into module 56 and then into Coding (this may or may not require a security access code first). It should give another screen with usually three fields. The one you need to change is the first one, but knowing what to is the tricky bit. VCDS may (or may not) display a popup speech bubble with a list of all the options possible. You then need to determine what the correct value should be, enter it and click on OK.

02256 - Not au fait with battery management, so can't advise. However, I did come across a post where someone was having similar issues, that also involved the telephone and CAN gateway. Would you know if there are any other accessories that might be plugged into the car (say a dashcam through the cigarette lighter) that could be causing a drain?
