2001 VW Passat Oxygen Sensor Check Engine Light
Hi. I'm having a problem with my 2001 GLS Turbo Passat. A few months
ago, the check engine light and Emissions Workshop message came on. The first VW dealer we took it to said it needed a oxygen sensor, mass air flow sensor, and something else I can't remember. Seemed odd to me that three parts would fail at the same time, so we took it to another dealer. They said it was a faulty computer, which was covered under warranty. They replaced it and everything seemed fine, for a little while. A short time later, the check engine light came on again. Took it to Autozone to see what code was being returned. Said it was the oxygen sensor in bank 1. Having lost confidence in the VW dealers, took it to a local, trusted garage. They too got a bad oxygen sensor code. They replaced the oxygen sensor and reset the light. After about 30 mins of driving, the light came back on. Took it back and they hooked it up again. Still said bad oxygen sensor! Not sure what to do next. The car won't pass emmisions with the faulty code. Is this a known problem? Is there some trick to resetting the code correctly? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! |
