ESH! Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Mine comes on and off all the time but i've taken it to the garage multiple times and been told they can't seem to find what it is. Could be a faulty sensor?If you have the money, take it to VW. If not, probably just leave it, mines not come back on for a few months now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozza Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Mines been on consistantly for about a month, got it plugged in and looks like it might be my lambda but I've been advised to give my throttle body a good clean and check my spark plugs and coil pack as that be causative of this too... hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCBailey Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Love how class the red rear lights look against the silver.Such a nice pairing, could look very good with some choice mods. Look forward to seeing where this goes.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 My engine check light kept appearing and disappearing a few days later, I found it was due to the egr valve being clogged along with the throttle body, so just needed a good clean! also changed all the plugs, leads and coil after it stayed on and the car went into limp mode.
