Title: Advice Please EML Light
Post by: Dragonheart on 23 June 2014, 07:14

Hi All,

New to this forum so Hi  :smiley:.

Just got a Golf GTI MK4, its a bit done up for my taste but i love driving it.. has 18 " Alloys, Lowered Suspension (Coil Over - what ever that means lol).. dump valve and it has a lot of Wolfsburg everywere ???.....

Anyway the question is the Engine Management Light has just come on, its due for a MOT in a month or so..... would this fail because of the light ?......... ive tried googling it but some say yes some say no..... ???

Anyone know ? Thanks in advance for any help/info........

I think that as of January this year an EML is an automatic failure.

As Chris says, you need to get it scanned with Vagcom to see what's causing the fault.

Yup, they also have to illuminate and then go off again to make sure that someone hasn't just pulled a bulb out.
