I won't be able to get to the dealer until tomorrow earliest. She be sitting in the snow today. I have to go to a conference in lower upstate NY :tsk: I'll be taking dad's Touareg. I didn't want to take a chance getting stuck.

Thanks guys.

that's My best guess to by the $teeler... :bustingup U R still under the Warranty...:cool:

Hey CMyX5 go...check out another thread on here about how an X5 goes in the snow!! Why take your dad's Touareg??:dunno: :rofl:

Ummmm, because of the check engine light. :confused: I don't know what's triggering it. Would you take a road trip with the check engine light lit?

Was just having a little fun with you and the Tourag!! ;)

I considered taking the X, but figured with my sh*t luck I'd seize the engine or something. I hate driving a car I'm not familiar with, especially in bad weather. The Treg did real good though. I left my house at 5:30 am. The roads were terrible.

I started up the X this morning and the warning light is gone.

engine light stays on
 

I fueled up my car the other day (used the middle grade premium gas) and did not close the gas cap door until I arrived home (didn't realize it will only close when the car is unlocked). The next day the engine ICON light along with a warning on my iDrive (Tighten gas cap) showed up then went away. Today (two days later) the light and warning came on again so I pulled over, opened the door and re tightened everything. The warning (words went away) but now the engine ICON light stays on. Question: Will it take several starts (this use to happen with our previous car, Lexus GX470) for the light to go off or do I need to go back to the dealership (I hope not) to have them rest this? Also, is the gas cap very tempermental and is there a correct way to tighten it so that this will not keep happening (have only had car for a month).

Vehicles typically can take a while to clear a loose fuel cap fault since the test is typically done during start-ups. As long as it is not flashing, I would give it a few days to clear itself before taking it to the dealer.

If it doesn't clear, there could be a small leak in the fuel vapor recovery system.


I occasionally got this on my Z4, but tightening the cap a couple of times helps. Also, you can check the gasket around fuel cap and make sure it ,\\, and the mating surface on the fuel filler neck, are clean.
