Engine management light!

Hi All

I've looked through various searches but cant seem to find what I'm after. My engine management light came on about a month ago as one of my plugs was earthing onto the block, causing the cat to oil up (i think

). So i went for a long blast down the motorway (as Mr VW said as well) to clear it out but the light remains on.

anyone any ideas

i thought cos it'd been firing off 3 cylinders the cat would oil up a bit, hense the M5 blast, but now thinking maybe it could be something else

the car is fine, nothing is any different to normal..

Thanks in advance
G

Oh, on the up side just got some Toyo T-1R's on this week and they are the dogs danglies so far. Reccommended!

The coil pack might be upset.

Yeah, but its depressing when even VW cannot fix it! They recorded a bunch of stuff and sent it off to germany. Then they came back and said:

erm.......... it shouldn't do that..... You must be doing it vong. (in german accent). Tell zee customer not to look at zee light. Und come back ven it breaks down. Zat should help us find zee problem.
