Default Check Engine Light

Check engine light is on and I have noticed a slight drop in power. Will a throttle boot tear cause light to light to come on? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

TB tear is not causing check engine light.
Go to service ASAP.
In the mean time you may check with VAG what code(s), etc.

Torn throttle body boot will cause CEL to come on.
It did on mine . If you are experiencing power drop its the most likely culprit. Swap that boot out for a samco in any case .
