Check out my new (unwanted) interior mod!!
I'm going to go get this checked out tomorrow. It was about 8°F when i started my car this morning, and the battery struggled a little bit to get it running. About 5 seconds after it started, the light came on. I just filled it up yesterday, so i could have gotten some bad gas.
It runs fine, sounds fine, smells fine. Everything works as far as i can tell.
Just thought i'd share...

sometimes if you redline too much...and take it over your rev limiter....(it happens sometimes)...your check engine light might pop up from that....i had a similar problem..i just got my car out of the mechanics...and everything was perfect...then right before i was leaving, the CE light comes on ...i was like wtf....never happened to me before...so we put in the VAG hookup...and check out what is going on... the CE was sensored by the code" Excess of engine speed" :X...we just cancled out the code...and everything has been cool since then..i recall hitting the redline late late at night....just going home from a late night of partying...so my CE was triggered a couple weeks later....crazy CE i tell ya ...ahhaha..another thing.... it could be a faulty distributor...or even your gas cap isnt put on tight enough .......

How's your serpentine belt? My belt had cracks all over it. When I changed it, my CE light stayed off. According to my mechanic, he said my belt was slipping on my alternator, causing my CE light to go on!

Re: Check out my new (STEALTHDEMONDUB)
wonder what it means when it blinks?
ive driven with it blinking quite a few times
i dont even watch it anymore, its like it has a mind of its own
it will come on for 1/2 hour, then go back off
or sometimes it comes on and then turns right off
i think it smokes more than i do

Re: Check out my new (unwanted) interior mod!! (Firestarter)
find someone with vag-com and have it checked out. I'm gonna change my O2 sensor just to see if that works out. forgot what was the DTC for mine now, I'll have to look it up.
[edit] found the DTC I got when scaned [/edit]
16555 - Fuel trim system: Too lean. Bank 1
35-10---Intermittent
someone said it could be a O2 sensor since I notice some bad smell from exhaust when I shut off the car. It seemed that the smell has gone since I have moved to different city. Go figure!

And no, i've never gotten it to the redline with the TT. I bounced off the factory rev limiter with my stock ecu...but i've never gotten over 7000 with the TT.
