RE: Fuel Level / Check Engine Light

I case you didn't get the standard answer by now, make sure you "click" the
gas cap when you tighten it.  If there is a "leak" in the seal, the
emissions system reads it as a problem.  This is probably what happened if
the light came on right after a fill up.

The light should reset by itself after 3 complete warm-up/cool-down cycles
without a problem.  No need to screw around with the battery.  Just be
patient.

"Fuel Level / Check Engine Light"

Does anyone know if the check engine light kicks on if
fuel level is very low? A couple of weeks ago, I was
running pretty low on gas. I made it to the gas
station with no indication of actually running out of
gas. Soon after I filled up with gas, I noticed that
the check engine light was on. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Also, is there anyone in the Southern California area
who has a VAG tool and is willing to clear the error
for a fellow dubber?

TIA,
