I got my first CEL..

[mk4jetta]

I noticed my check engine light came on today, stays on solid, been on all day. The car seems to run fine, was wondering if anyone has a vag-com that was willing to scan it?

Also, sometimes recently the car will stall when im slowing down for a stop sign or something, it just dies. Im not sure if this has anything to do with it?

Thanks for any help!!

Could be MAF sensor.

Certainly sounds like the symptoms of a faulty MAF sensor

Re: I got my first CEL..

When I bought my car (05 TDI) they told me that a solid CEL means you can drive to the dealer/shop to get it looked at (but don't wait weeks before going); and a flashing CEL means turn the car off and call a tow truck. I would guess that's consistent with all mk4's, but maybe someone who is sure of this can chime in.

I take offence to this accusation. I stand behind my repairs 100%. I do not charge a penny to scan a car (so i guess the savings are a little more than $20). A regularly maintenance regime at a reputable shop will never let you down.

Re: I got my first CEL..

Have you had any work done on the car lately? Check under the pass where the charge pipe from the turbo to the intercooler, there is a joint in the pipe where it goes from metal to rubber, make sure the fitting has not seperated (I have seen this numerous times when shops don't remove the pipe to work on the car and it pops loose because of their overzealous laziness).

Those codes are super hard to track down. Just reset them and see if they come back.
