Hi all, I am new to this. I have a Passat V5 Estate 2001 Y reg facelift model. And it has been a brilliant car but we are now thinking of getting rid of it, but ever since we have had it the Engine management light has been on.

We firstly took it the local VW dealership who put it on there diagnostic machine and couldnt find fault, they said it was probably a wiring fault but if it didnt cause us any problems dont worry about it. which was a couple of years back, but as we now want to sell it and because it is in very good condition we thought to get the most we could for it we need to get it sorted. So we took a guy who came highly recommended who specialises in auto electrics, he put it on his machine and it said it was 1 of 3 faults, but he said he would have to switch light off and wait for it to come on again before he could narrow which fault it was down. That was 2 weeks ago and now light has come on again, what should I do?

Oxygen sensor? also known as lambda probe

:biglaugh:
Or have the light put out just before you sell it
A friend of mine had a problem with his bora where the air bag light kept coming on. He had the light put out and sold it in autotrader no come backs after 6 months!
