Hi everyone,
Glad to find this forum with like minded enthusiasts.
I own a 2011 jetta sportwagen S, has about 5500 miles. So far the cars been great. I just brought the vehicle in for the courtesy service and all seemed fine.
The other day, the gas cap warning light appeared, which was random, since I drove it for about 50 miles after fueling up, And the warning came on the next day.
After removing it and tightening it back on, the cap warning disappeared. I then drove less than 1 mile and when shifting to park the catalytic converter warning light appeared.
Called the dealer, I mispoke and told him it was the check engine light, they asked if I recently just gassed up and if it's not flashing, drive it for a day or two and call us if it's still on, but the manual states to take it straight to a dealer though. I need to drive about 50 highway miles with a 6 month baby before I can take it in, wondering if it's safe or not.
Will driving it really just resolve the problem? Is there a check engine indicator, didn't see one in the manual?
Thanks everyone.
