Its a 2000 passat. Tell me more. I do all the wrenching on my cars, but this one is killing me with the check engine light going on every 4 months or so.

Not sure if this helps any of you, but when I had my t-bird the check engine light was scheduled to come on after so many miles......so you would be reminded to have it serviced!!!!! after reading the manual I figured out how to clear it.

Simplify.......
