Check the coding of the CCM with vag-com. Those are features that can be turned on/off through software.

If it was working, then not working, then working again all on it's own, then your problem is not how the CCM is coded. Your symptoms sound more like the water your car took in is causing problems. On our NA cars, the CCM and its harness are on the left side of the car under the carpet directly in front of the front seat. That harness has some splices in it that like to corrode and fail if subjected to water. The right side of the car just under the carpet is the transmission computer (TCM) and harness. Do some searches for "water ingress" for more information.
