Default it helps when you know what the error code is first.

Then you can fix it the right way.

Default You need to VAG your car and find out the error code that keeps throwing the CEL and you then you

can determine what part you need to buy to DIY or if you need to take it to the dealer to fix so you should find somebody in your area with VAG so tey can help you out with this problem otherwise it's going to continue to happen over and over again and get really annoying.
