Hey guys.
I have a 2002 52 plate Beetle 1.6, standard spec. It does have high mileage, but I am only the second owner from new.
About 6 months ago the "engine check" light came on - I took it to my local VW repair guy (not a main dealer, but a VW specialist nonetheless). He did diagnostics and came up with a few options..
16556 - Bank 1 Fuel measuring system
18010 - Votage supply terminal 30
17831 - Bank 1 secondary air system
16485 - Air mass meter present
But, he said these were all old faults. Checking the car service history, I noticed a service bill for the light, which said there was no fault and diagnostics had been carried out. I have been (reliably?) informed that the light will come on intermittantly if the sensor is dirty etc, even if the petrol cap is not on tightly enough!
Anyway, the light does keep coming and going - is this a problem? Also, this morning, the EPC light has come on. Are the two related? As the MOT is due in May, I kind of want to know if there is anything I should get sorted out before then.
Any help any of you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :D
