Was enjoying a long overdue drive with other A8/S8 owners on Saturday at our 2023 (rescheduled 2020) annual meet, so missed this.
Address 05: 00191 - Typical issue with the door handles as they fail over time. I've seen it mentioned elsewhere to just disconnect the cable going to the door handle for the sensor, but never tried it.
Address 08: 00065 & 00066 - Another typical issue that affects older cars. The footwell heaters basically consist of a large heatsink with four transistors bolted to them. All held in with some sort of epoxy, so you can't get at them without destroying them. Most people just live without them.
Address 08: 00604 - One of the flap motors has an intermittent fault. Since you now have VCDS, you can go into Address 08 and run tests on them. It's been a while, but I think you can run Basic Settings for individual motors, and the issue might be that the motor is failing or that it is out of the allowable range. Worth checking and running that before replacing. The following PDF has instructions of how to replace. Just search for G113:

Address 09: 00908, 01520 & 02071 - Did some Googling on this and came across the following thread. Problem was with a Q7, but the same error codes as yours. Some more details can be found in
SSP287. It's worth going through the entire thread to check things with VCDS, but their solution was replacing the J519 module (which has component protection), possibly caused by the car being jump started:

Address 34: 01400 - Could be a bad level sensor or a faulty connection to it. It might even be detached. Check them first and then use VCDS to check the measuring blocks. Change the settings in the MMI and see if VCDS shows corresponding/matching changes.
Address 37: 02288 - Weirdly, the VCDS Wiki doesn't even give details for this error code. Some searching did find the following thread, with the only common feature being that is was a Japanese import, although their issue was with coding the radio to work in Ireland:

Address 38: 00211 - Another one that shows nothing in the VCDS Wiki, with the only 00211 being a coding reference. From the description, maybe just a faulty connection in one of the rear roof lights or switches.
Address 46: 01134 - Yet another common faults with most VAG vehicles. The battery inside the alarm horn deteriorates and causes a short on the PCB, or destroys it completely.
Address 46: 02107 - The motor may just be stuck. Those with the plastic casing tended to be less up to the job and would sometimes struggle. One solution would be to try dismantling and applying violin rosin on the clutch wheel. The newer ones with a metal casing are better as they have a stronger motor.
This has taken longer to respond to than I expected, so I'll continue tomorrow.
One comment about the scan. You don't mention if any of these error codes are showing any visible signs like warning lights on dash or items not working e.g. for 'Address 09: 00908, 01520 & 02071' do the wipers work?
