That beautiful f***#*g yellow light - now with log files
« on: October 21, 2012, 08:35:06 am »
I had it with my MK4 GTi with full TBE (milltek)
I had it with my MK5 GTi with full TBE (Milltek)
Now I have it with my S3 also full TBE (Milltek)
What is the story with Milltek and this issue????  :fighting:

My MK4 GTi I had to drive all the way to Bicester and Milltek had to change a part to sort it.
My MK5 GTi (before I went Revo) AMD had to change their map (something to do with fuelling) before the light went out.
Now Revo Stage 2+ since December last year and the fooking thing comes on again.......  :mad:



Any ideas??

I guess your talking abut the emissions light.

Could be something linked with your down on power issues. might help identify a problem when you have the car checked out.

If alls been ok since December it may not be exhaust/map related pal, get the car scanned and see if anything has been logged  :happy2:

I had that light when my coil pack went, but I suppose you'd know if it was that.

I had that in my R32 and turned out it was the CAT which VW replaced under warranty fortunately.

Yeah, but this is a Milltek CAT, and I always seem to have this problem in some form or another with the Milltek system  :sad1:

Funny u should post this as I have the exact same light on my Revo edition 30 with blueflame TBE. According to the prev owners it's something that happens with stage 1 cars & when/if at stg2 it dissapears. Doubt that's true?

Could this be logged as a fault on vagcom?

Any fault that turns on a dash warning light will be stored as a fault code on the ecu and can be read with vcds.   :smiley:

Not yet, this just came on this morning.  I'm only getting the revised map when I get her serviced on the 30th.
I assume she's OK to drive till then without getting this looked at??   :confused:

Where are you Jussa? Get it scanned in the first instance, anything other than this is going to be speculation tbh.
