dlyall Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Check engine light flashed for a couple of minutes on the way to work this morning but went off. Didn't notice any difference in performance.Unfortunately it came back on on the way home and stayed on. Car was running really badly and I thought it was going to stall all the time style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> . Anyway, made it to the dealer and left it with them tonight. Hopefully it's something simple and it'll be covered under my extended VW warranty.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlyall Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Indeed it was a bad ignition lead. Unfortunately they only replaced the faulty one instead of the whole set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
