If your check engine light on your Volkswagen’s dashboard is lit up or blinking, it means your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system has detected a potential problem. The yellow or orange light will typically show the image of an engine. This should not be confused with the maintenance light, which is typically set to come on when you are due for routine maintenance. The check engine light indicates a problem with one of the following systems: emissions, ignition, fuel, or exhaust. It can signal a serious problem, especially if it is flashing or blinking. Further driving, in this case, could damage the catalytic converter because it could be a warning that your engine is misfiring. Don’t take the warning lightly or ignore it. Schedule an appointment at Burlington Volkswagen, and our certified technicians can get to the bottom of the issue.
If your check engine light is on, you can take the first step to check your gas cap. It could be loose or faulty, so screwing it on tightly could resolve the problem. If the light does not go off within a day or so, a more significant issue is at play. Don’t delay having your vehicle inspected and the check engine light diagnosed. Such problems will not resolve on their own, and further driving could cause the issue to escalate.
By bringing your Volkswagen to Burlington, you are helping get your VW the care it needs. Our certified VW technicians can retrieve the diagnostic code stored in your vehicle’s system. This can help us identify the root cause of the problem to rectify it for you. We can repair any problems or replace any failed components. We use only genuine OEM parts from the manufacturer backed by a warranty and are guaranteed to function as intended.
The check engine light can be a tricky indicator because there can be many underlying causes for it to illuminate. It could be anything from the mass airflow sensor, fuel injectors, or your emissions purge control valve. It could also be an issue with the thermostat, spark plugs, or ignition coils. Regardless of the underlying cause, these are all issues that need to be resolved promptly to ensure your Volkswagen runs smoothly and reliably.
