Vag code 18010 - Constant stalling!

This is the only code that pops up and the car starts but experiences heavy stalling. I did a search and know a few guys also experienced this. My question is how did you resolve this? What was wrong? Thanks!

Know anyone with a VAG Com and a multi meter?

Here is the VAg Com procedure per the Bentley's:

1. Hook up the Vag Com
2. Go to group 004
3. Values are RPM, Voltage at battery, engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature.
Values should be for
0rpm, 10-14.5v, no engine coolant temp or intake air temp
no VAG display = check fuse for ECU and check (for a broken wire)power at terminal 15 on the ECU harness connector.
0-10 v check battery, battery connections, generator and voltage regulator.
14.5-16.5v check faulty generator or voltage regulator.

BTW . .A battery can be weak enough to fail to keep the car running smoothly or make it stall and still have just enough umph to start the car. So, unless it is a newish battery, I'd start there and with the battery cables connections on the posts.
