Post by: M.sheldon23 on 14 July 2013, 21:43

Hey up just recently bought a gti 1.8 t and there's no engine management light illuminates on dash. Should I be worried? It's a 1999 T reg.

If your driving and there's no engine management light....

Get out and open bonnet pull out a coil pack and pull the oil cap off.

Return to drivers seat and that will have solved the problem hopefully a few lights will show up 

 :cool:

Yeah when you turn on ignition and all light come on. All my previous cars engine management comes on then goes out but on this there is nothing, thought some may have been naughty and pulled the bulb. Is that a defo then AGU,s don't have one?
