I would like to request VW to print out all the fault codes on my car.

What is the technical term for the print out that I want. I have had this from them before its approximately a 70 page odd document that tells me whats good whats not all the warnings that have come about on my dash board. Need to be able to prove that a sensor fault wasn't my causing and was triggered immediately after I picked up my car from VW.

I would just call it a Diagnostic Report.

Not sure how it will prove your point though.

Diagnostic Report sounds good by me, I'm hoping that it will list when my fault first appeared.

I want to be able to prove that the fault never appear until after my car was touched by a specific garage.

A fault also records the mileage of the vehicle when the fault first appeared.... it may help your cause.... best of luck!
