Perhaps a more persistent investigator will have greater success. A useful single page is at http://www.blueprint-ec.co.uk/vda.htm which answers a couple of your queries. I look forward to responses from other list members. For the work we have done using VDA messages we have always used the specifications provided by the relevant automotive partners.
