These error codes are no different from error messages compiler throws when you try to compile a piece of code. There is the right amount of it that makes it useful. Too many, and it becomes useless. I was merely commenting on the German tendency to throw error on every little thing, making it more difficult to tell what's important and what isn't.

When you say that the dealer will never turn down a business, I guess the implication is that there never was any serious error code, and arguru is making it up. Maybe. He would have had to forge that diagnostics from independent mechanic, but I suppose anything is possible. I am on the other hand personally quite convinced that this issue is real.
Whats your problem? Why so defensive? There is no "gas cap sensor". It has to do with pressurizing the fuel system. I never implied that at all. I assume they read the codes incorrectly indicating no service required. If they thought service was required they would surely provide it. You need to calm down.
