Re: Check engine light

[David Kim <glxvr6@ibm.net>]

cc-vw,

is your Jetta GLX '96 or later thus having OBD II?  If so you mentioned
that the check engine light immediately came on after leaving the gas
station, check to see that the gas cap in on securely.  (turn it enough
so that you hear the clicks).

Hope this helps,
