LiamD Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I reckon it has something to do with the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_225 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Could be one of many things mate, take it to a mechanic who'll be able to read off the code using a VAG Com.Probably nothing serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupoluke Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 ^ My money is on one of the lamba sensors.I second this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Whats vag-com ? ? And i mite just take it to sinclairs ? ?Hmmm... dealers! Find a VW Specialist who will look at it for half the price and know more about fixing it.Lambda sensor is my bet too as I replaced one on my Aeosa 1.0. Fuel economy went down and the car smelt rich.

It wouldn't have a sensor on it for the engine management light.I think its coincidence its gone off after you have had a fiddle.There are lots of pipes under the bonnet, No idea what one you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
