I parked up for lunch today no problems noticed before turning the ignition off, when I came back the eng management light, power steering and ABS light were permanently light. This was complimented by intermittent power steering. Turned ignition off, waited a few moments whilst panicking, started the engine again and car was fine, just had engine management light on.

Took it in to the dealers who then proceeded to hook it up to their VAG COM, which reported that I didn

They wouldnt have VAG COM but thats just being picky

What engine do you have?

sorry my cars the vrs - 1.9 pdi, yeah ok ok I know they wouldnt of had vag com but couldnt think of the name for it!

Hi, sorry to hijack your thread, but my engine maganement light came on last week for a day, then has come back today, I think the temperature guage maybe working intermittantly when the light is on, maybe? Is the only thing I can do take it to the dealer? will they charge? Its a 2001 1.4 8v Classic

Cheers.

Dan yours will be a coolant temp sensor.

PXH there is a modified ABS ECU to sort a ABS related problem on the vRS, your dealer should look into this.

cheers lummox Ill metion this to him when its in on tues for a service!

Not much temp sensor is pretty cheap and common.

Ok, after a five minute trip and back to my mates, the temp sensor take a minute or two to get up to middle, then at some point in the next couple of minutes it is back down to bottom.

Ok, just a quick question, the engine management light has now gone off, and the car seems torun better, but the temp gauge is still being silly.

16500 - Engine Coolant Temp Sensor (G62): Implausible Signal

P0116 - 35-00 - -

Is it ok to drive like this for a while, as dont have the money to replace it straight away.
