Default After Carwash got a CEL, any ideas?

After going thru the carwash, on the way home the CEL light came on. I noticed it was shifting wierd, too.

I dont have a vag com to know the exact code. I popped open the hood 15 minutes after I got home to find the enginge and all the plastic in the engine bay very warm. Clear waves were in the air so something was trying to dissipate heat very badly. Nothing looked wrong that I could see with all the plastic.

Anything to check before I call Dealer on monday?

TIA

Default Do you have feeds to the TTDA? I have sprayed a little too much water there and gotten a cel

after driving.

I agree with JohnLZ7W that your car is just pissed at you for not hand washing.

Default I have the easy install hoses...

One going by the headlight and the other into the stock location.

And there will be a big detail day when I get my wheels and exhaust on...
