Default Need Help: check engine light: small evap leak (intermittant) --- large evap leak
every time I clear these codes, they come back
within minutes. I already tightened the gas
cap, and the oil cap. What else could be
causing this code?

Is there any way I can diagnose the problem using
a VAG?

Default I'm having similar problem
When they cleared my codes in the service drive with the VAGCOM, it gave suggested leak locations. I guess it's usually the gas cap, but it can also be hoses under the hood.

Default well, the vagcom didn't give me any suggested leak locations.
I'm guessing you meant the dealer's VW tool.
I gotta find a way to snag me one of those
suckers.

Default did you look at the error code in the Bentley's? I'm at work and Bentley's is at home but if no one
else shows I will take a look see when I get home.
