Default My CEL (emissions) light comes on every once in awhile and has me baffled.

What sensor or set of sensors trips this malfunction light? It happens about once a month. Just now, I went to move my car from the street, into the drive and the check engine light came on. There was no noticable rough start-up or difficulty turning over. This has happened before and the warning will stay on for two more starts, then disappear. What COULD this be? Thanks for the help. Oh, and by the way, The radio is still making the very loud popping sound when turned off or on. Perfect, eh? As if I didn't have enough weighing me down.

Default C'mon Bobby - you're in AWA8 enough to know the drill.

Get thee to a VAG-COM, pull the codes, post the codes.

Default The light is suppose to be emissions related - but that could mean just about anything.

As Jim says, you really need to pull the codes.
