What did the tech say? Did he/she suggest you drive the car in a certain way for a certain # of miles? They should have given you more information.
Just turning off a CEL with a scanner won't "fix" the problem. You still won't pass until the car's computer thinks you've gone through the drive mode (which would require for you to fix the CEL problem in the first place, or perhaps the car would "fix itself" after completing a drive mode).
For VW/Audi a great aftermarket tool s the Ross-Tech VCDS. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/
They also have tons of information in their Ross-Tech wiki site which would outline how you use their tool to access and even set the readiness monitors for emissions testing.
