Emissions Warning Light

Post by chrischap2003 »

Its currently been on for 2 days now, which is ever so slightly worrying...Anyone know what to check at first, i am kind of hoping its not the CAT and is something small like the Lambda. Also if ther is anyone in the North East with a VAG COM it would be a great help if they could aid me with the troubleshooting?

Emissions warning light can cover a lot of different things.

On my old GTi it came when the crankcase breather pipe failed.

Yep covers loads. Best thing is like you said to get it into vagcom and see what comes up. it's really too broad to diagnose on here.
