Default Got check engine light this morning...

turned on when stopped at a red light, no change in performance. Tried to tighten the gas cap. Would be too worried about it, but I'm suppose to drive to Detroit on Saturday from Pittsburgh. Anyone know of a place in Pittsburgh I can at least diagnostic the problem? I live on South Side, so somewhere on that side of town would be preferable.

Default if you just want to diagnose >

you can run to any autozone, advance auto, pep boys and they will scan the car for free... that will tell you what is wrong. we can help tell you if it's unsafe to drive (might be, might not be)


another idea might be to post in the detroit forum and see if anyone has a VAGCOM and can meet up.


last but not least, dealer, stealer, ick.

Couldn't find in the FAQ's and my Bentley is at home.
