help please emmisions and warning light come on ,drains battery. golf mk 4 ?
Emmsions warning and engine symbol light has come on my 2002 1.6 golf ?
hi i am having trouble with my very recently bought Mk 4 golf 2002 1.6 SE .The emmisions warning light flashes up and the amber engine slight comes on my battery also ran flat .The fans seem to work for a long time after I have switched off but stop when I start engine .So far the RAC gave me a sensor check and a code and a reset and the main VW dealer I bought from fitted a new sensor .Its still happening and sometimes draining the battery .The temp gauge doesnt work correctly .sometimes when I wiggle the wires around the sensor it all corrects itself except the temp gauge .The engine l warning light goes out as well.any ideas would be gratefully accepted and give me some ammo when I take it back to the dealer .The car is genuine low milage and has full VW main dealer service history .
the best ammo to take to a dealer is the "sale of goods act", whatever is purchased must be "fit for purpose" which you car is not. tell them if they do not fix it you will call in trading standards, helps if you say this in a loud voice with other customers in ear shot.
helpful?
