Check Engine Light on After Oil Change
Hi All,
I just had my oil changed yesterday and within a couple hours, the light came on (and is still on). It was not done at a dealer, but I supplied the factory filter and crush washer. Any ideas?
FYI - I had them put in Pennzoil Platinum (full synthetic) 5W-30.

That's why you should always change your own oil
It's not rocket science yet so many people come here with problems after letting someone else do it for them.
Pull the codes to find out why the check engine light is on.

Mechanic or find someone local with a VAG-COM
I believe the generic code scanners will work but I'm not sure if they support all the modules in the car. Some local parts stores like autozone do this for free. They will most likely only give you a code number, but someone here should be able to look up the description for you.
