J ust got a 2012 GTI CSG (Used) with 13k miles on it and the check engine light came on... Bad way to start off with a new car but took it in to VW and they said they cant figure out why it's on. Should I be worried?

Welcome to VW. Get the code scanned, should not be nothing serious.

WTF? How does VW not know why the light is on? :iono:

They told me the same thing. Nothing is coming up in the diagnostic... might software issue or wiring is what I was just told.

Car is under warranty... have them fix it.?! Unless they cleared the code and its not coming back.

They should still give you an option of replacing the gauge cluster or a software re-flash or ECU replacement if it's not working properly. Try going back and discussing your options. A dash light that's showing a 'false positive' is just as much an issue as the ECU throwing a code. It's under warranty, something is broken, they need to fix it, end of story.

I appreciate the help guys. Talked to VW and they said there's a short in the wiring and it'll all be replaced should have my car back tomorrow. They reassured me whatever the problem is, they'll get it fixed at no charge as they should. Thanks Gents.
