Engine warning light (mk5 golf gti)
« on: October 17, 2014, 12:03:31 pm »
This appeared yesterday evening, turned the car off and on again and its still on.

Drove the car home gently and have it booked in with VW on Saturday, I am hoping it's just a sensor!

My question is are there any sensors prone to failing?

The car still runs and drives fine with no power loss, juddering etc.

Thanks

Could be a million and one things. Going to vw for a scan is the most expensive option. I'd look for someone nearby with vcds or buy an obd adapter.

Luckily a friend works for them so diagnosis will be free.

Light has now gone off!!
