exhaust emissions warning lamp

Actually, that's the Model-Year Expiration light. You are required by the government to scrap your water-cooled Volkswagen and send them proof that you have done so. To ignore the warning is a federal offense.

Cruel!

And he's from the UK - we dont have federal, and offence has a "C"

In the UK this is on the statute book but not enforced by the police as they are too busy trapping air-cooled drivers in speed camera traps!

Shoot, a hacksaw and 15 minutes of your time and you can have yourself a lucrative business on Ebay selling exterior grade webcams!

Good idea! but.....

You'd need to find the ones not defaced by paint, not removed by a JCB and chain, not set on fire and not chopped off at the roots by a chainsaw massacre man! And those not genuinely damaged by drunk drivers who never saw them. Not ACVW drivers of course.

Maybe easier ways to earn a crust!

Thank you.

Hi,

I have a VW Golf 1.6 SE, 2001 model. About 3 months ago the yellow exhaust emissions warning lamp came on and a few days later went off. I took it to the VW garage and they reported a fault with one of the spark plug leads. So i replaced the faulty lead and everything was okay until yesterday. The lamp has come on again, i double checked the spark plug leads are securely connected. Has anyone else had this intermittent fault and if so what causes it?

thanks in advance VW Owner

It might be better to ask this question in the watercooled section. :-) Take it back to that garage and have the faults read again. Now did you replace all of these leads or just the one in question? Has the weather been damp lately?

good luck!!
