Post by: Upperoilcan on 14 July 2010, 17:05

What is it exactly is it ??????????????  as i have just been told by VW that this is what's causing my Exhaust gas warning light to come on ?

I have been quoted around £400.00 to have this done.........

Have you tried turning your petrol cap for 3 clicks? That fixed my warning light today and I was told it was many different things, possibly might have mentioned this too at the garage.

It's an '06.  Disks and pads are a good thing to change.  Just unlucky with the potentiometer.  Keep on top of these little problems and you should get years out of the car.
