Emission Control / Engine Management Lamp 2.0tsi

Hi guys,

I've just had this yellow light come on today on my 2.0tsi GT Scirocco, left the car for an hour or so and it came on again when I went back to it. Any ideas what it may be? All running fine and had a VW Service one month ago and MOT last week (which always worries me as faults always seem to occur shortly after these things... Suspicious!). I called VW and they said they'll have to charge £150 just to check it and that won't be until the 29th Oct!

Most annoyingly - I've just traded the car in and am picking my new one up at the weekend! :(

Any help much appreciated!

My guess is a manifold problem, which I also had:

Thanks for the info! I've found a VW specialist round the corner from where I work and he's going to check the code tomorrow, fingers crossed!

It is indeed a manifold problem - the mechanic has turned the light off for now, will see if it stays off! The car runs fine so I just need it to last until the weekend when I pick up my new car really... Sneaky I know but it's a main dealer so they're well equipped to deal with any issues if indeed it does turn out to be anything...

Well the mechanic thought it was just a random error code anyway so I'm not too worried, he mentioned seeing similar things quite a few times in the past linked to other switches and slightly flaky electrics. My stereo also pops when I press the brake pedal half the time (sometimes if braking hard shuts down completely) and AM doesn't work - when I asked VW to check it out at the service they just said there were no error codes showing...
