My check engine light stopped working.

I haven't actually had a check light on my corona yet.

>"Lightning struck your engine, please check."

I've had a sensor that was recalled about a decade ago due to low voltage, I have yet to replace it yet, so the light just stays on with no noticeable change in performance.

That image could have been my car.
The light is on constantly because of a faulty exhaust gas recirculation valve and I'm too lazy to have it fixed.

It's not like Volkswagen cared about emissions anyway.

>>16243057
I have a light that says check engine with no symbol, which I'm assuming is the same as that car.

It's already always on so the jokes on you.

I don't do anything unless the car starts to drive weird or sound/smell funky.

Are you me? Mk4 here and whenever I have it dealt with in service it usually reappears a few days after

if my check engine light is on for Cam Timing Advance Excessive is it really a problem or should i not worry about it?

check engine light only bothers you if you're a helpless pleb.

just wait till bulb burns out.

>>16243057
I haven't seen one since I sold my GM

>>16243654
Probably
A problem like that can be caused by many different types of failures.

The best case is its a bad sensor or it just needs a valve adjustment

worst case, and ive only seen this a few times, you need a new camshaft.

>>16243057
Be glad you have one. Only alert I get is for low oil pressure

Where

>>16243575
My lights go on and off or flash at will.
Sensors on the Mk4 apparently have a tendency to be crap

>>16243845
Triumph, so the ignition light is probably on most of the time anyway.

>>16243057
>check engine light for months now
>still cannot figure out what it was
The code is just "Too lean during idle", already replaced/cleaned my injectors and waiting for an opportunity to replace the fuel pressure sensor

Wait, yours isn't always on?

>>16243057
I get this every time it rains. Water in the engine. It shakes and struggles to accelerate for a little but when it gets dry it stops and the light goes away
Hopefully I can squeeze one more year out of the car

They were pretty cool dudes, surprised me to find out they were both over 40.

only time this happened, it was well below 32F and my car overboosted. Fixed with a wastegate upgrade.
