Default having issues with my car =\

well, for the last few weeks, the CEL light pops on like once a week, stays on for a few days, then leaves. Everything drives okay, and then I never check it with Vag tool (my friend has one and I have to set up an appointment)...

Last night, turning onto my parents' street, the EPC light came on... aka limp mode... i was like WTF!!!! i coasted into the drive, turned car off, and then turned it back on. it drove fine. i took up to 60 mph or so through 3 gears and everything seemed ok.

now, i have to drive to dayton this weekend... 3 hours from c-town. should i be worried? should i get this Vagged ASAP? Thanks for your help!

Default man. CEL should ALWAYS be checked asap.

there's no way i would even consider a 3hour drive with that unknown.

drop by your friend's house and crash his dinner or something. =) vag that sucker.
