Consumer Description

THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE. I HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED LAST YEAR IN 08/05 WHEN IT INITIALLY OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM WENT OFF. IT CAME BACK ON JUST YESTERDAY 07/11/2006. THE MESSAGE SAYS IT IS EMISSION WORKSHOP. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A VW DEALER, HOWEVER, I SUSPECT IT IS THE SAME CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEM. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD IS THE STOP - BRAKE FAULT MESSAGE. THE ABS LIGHT IS ON WHILE THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS TO CHECK ON THE ISSUES. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE ALL FINE. AND SO WAS THE FLUID BRAKE RESERVOIR LEVEL. THEY WERE GUESSING IT WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR ABS SENSOR PROBLEM. *JB
