Anyone in Miami with a VAG? My car is in limp mode

Hi, I have an A pillar boost guage that some how is not working, the needle doesnt move from the 0 psi position at all. Also my check engine light is on. I am wondering if one of the turbo hoses has a leak? Anyway wondering if anyone could help me out. Thanks

It's possible the reason your guage isnt working

is caused by a disconnected vacuum line w/c ultimately caused the cel to come on.

you'll need to diagnose for leaks, and fix or replace the hose.

But if I were you, I'd take it to the dealer. Not good to let this thing go unchecked for too long. Using the VAG tool to reset the cel light is not a long term fix, and there are other items that could eventually be affected.
