So I've gone roughly 3000 miles with my APR chip installed, and when I started up my car this afternoon, the check engine light came on. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what was wrong with it?

I plan on setting the lock out feature on my chip and take it to the dealer next week to be looked at.

Thanks,
Blake

 

test pipe? or not...could just be non related to the car..best thing is get a vag to see what happend

 

No test pipe. The car seems to be running fine. I did switch it back to "stock" mode and DANG it is slow.

 

Heh... might be O2 sensor... do you have fault code erase? Although I guess you should probably find out what the error is before just erasing it.

 

Nope...do not have fault code erase. Gonna take it to the Dealer on Monday. Thanks fellas!

 

Did you put a upgraded PCV valve and a upgraded DV?

 

Where are you from? If you are close we can hook up the vag-com, if not you can see if anyone close to you has one.....

 

I'm in Dallas, but I just had the dealer check it out.

They found that the fuel pressure sensor was sending an erratic signal back to the computer, thus triggering the check engine light. They replaced my fuel sensor, and all is well.


On another topic, they gave me a 3.2 as a loaner to drive, and although it feels like it has more power, I was not all that impressed. My 2.0 chipped has a lot more tourque and is not has jolty as the 3.2....
