I’m good driving a standard, but it’s sometimes difficult in sandals. I guess it depends on which pair. Long story short, I stalled my car yesterday. Well, I turned it back on, and the little yellow engine light came on. I kept going where I needed to go, hoping it would go off shortly. Nope. So I then began to hope for the next day (today)... it’s still on. I broke out the manual. It said the light can come on when the emissions are slightly off. I looked online about it, and some said it has come on for them by simply turning the gas cap past 2 clicks. Supposedly, it has a pretty touchy fuel system.
Out of my inability to let it go, knowing there was nothing wrong, I called the VW service department this morning in hopes to schedule a time to bring it in. I figured they would hook it up to the computer, tell me it’s nothing, and reset it so I could move on with my life. However, even better yet, the guy told me that it’s nothing to worry about unless it starts flashing, and in that case, turn off the car immediately. He said the light will reset itself otherwise, so there’s no need to service it, but it might take a day or two. What had probably happened was some air or a little piece of dirt got injected when I stalled. Anyway, that’s a lot better than a trip to Clarksburg, so I’ll take it. Hopefully it goes off soon.
