My 2001 Jetta GLS 2.0L has 51K miles. I got it at 45K miles last yea
and it has been running fine, but since the pollen filter was ver dirty I assumed the previous owner never did the 40K service, so just had it done (at the dealer)
After driving the car for a couple of days, the check engine light ha
come on. What could this mean? Is it safe to just ignore it for awhil and hope it goes away on its own
- Dav you will need to take it to a reputable shop where the technition will plug in a scanner tool and retrieve the code(s) check the circuit and look up in service manual or on a subscribed ALLDATA system a series of tests to isolate the problem. and the fact that the "pollen filter was dirty and had been changed a few days before has nothing to do with the engine light coming on" engine light came on because it detected a fault somewhere and has stored that code in your obd2 computer memory ;
