Default Just got an allroad & Check Engine Light

Hi All,

I just picked up a 2001 allroad last week with 51K miles on it. I am really happy with my purchase, I took it off roading this week at Big Bear Lake.

On the day of my purchase I saw the check engine light come on after I drove it off the lot (I had driven the car on 2 test drives before I bought it and the light had not come on). I immediately called the dealer and let them know of the probem (they are going to have it looked at). After pumping a full tank of gas and 3 or 4 starts later the check engine light turned off and remained so for about another day. Yesterday the light came back on. Is this emmissions related? Any ideas?

Will post pictures & more details later

Thanks, Orlando

Default If I were to guess I bet you will need 1 or 2 pre-cats. They are still under

warranty however..
