Emissions Workshop! and check engine light came on last night. I have misplaced my owner's manual and my trusty car repair guy went away for the weekend - I was just in having a tire fixed (nail this time - though the tires need to be replaced - with less than 30k miles on them). I have a lot of driving to do this week and am afraid of getting stranded on 95 = I haven't seen any comments on the diesel doing this - any advice?
Front passenger seat has a hard spot on leather.
Tires wear badly.
She is using some oil.
We love the car for fuel efficiency though that has gone down recently.
We love the car for handling, comfort and usefulness - it's a wagon.
After reading the Emissions Workshop! and tire wear comments I am kind of upset - I want a car that will last many years - it's why I bought a diesel.
Emissions Workshop came up on mine too yesterday. Had it checked by qualified VW mechanic in his own time and the diagnostics came up with temp sender fault (engine temp).
Sender replaced and topped up with water and antifreeze and code checked and cleared in 1 hour for a minimal sum. apparently this is a common fault on Passat TDIs.
