Engine Light is 'back' on.... - 03' Passat Wagon
I have a 2003 Passat Wagon.
I've had the engine light come on a few times recently. The car just had its 40K $ervice and it was off for a few days. It came back on when we were going on a small road trip (200miles) 1/3 of the way down I filled up with Super Unleaded and put in a bottle of Techron. 1/2 through the trip the Light went out. Now a few days later, the light is back on. We will be going on a much longer trip this weekend (over 1000 miles) and wanted to take the Passat, though I don't think I'll have time to get the Service people to look at it between now and then. Any Suggestions? Thanks, Scott<- |

Thanks for the Info.
Never heard of advandes auto parts. We have Napa, AutoZone, Kragen and something else that eludes me. The dealer is just so hard to get to. Thanks!

That's a typo. It's really Advanced Auto Parts. Anyway, take it to ANY
facility and do what Sebastian suggests. Probably it is just a faulty reading, but if it is not, you may get halfway through your trip and end up with a blown engine because the engine light is indicating low oil pressure.
