My check engine light stopped working.

I haven't actually had a check light on my corona yet.

>"Lightning struck your engine, please check."

I've had a sensor that was recalled about a decade ago due to low voltage, I have yet to replace it yet, so the light just stays on with no noticeable change in performance.

That image could have been my car.
The light is on constantly because of a faulty exhaust gas recirculation valve and I'm too lazy to have it fixed.

It's not like Volkswagen cared about emissions anyway.

I have a light that says check engine with no symbol, which I'm assuming is the same as that car.

It's already always on so the jokes on you.

I don't do anything unless the car starts to drive weird or sound/smell funky.

Fuck off light.

>Check engine lights up
>Doesn't check the engine

Are you me? Mk4 here and whenever I have it dealt with in service it usually reappears a few days after

>Check engine light not
>Leaking coolant
>Oil blowing out of the dipstick once only a little bit

if my check engine light is on for Cam Timing Advance Excessive is it really a problem or should i not worry about it?

check engine light only bothers you if you're a helpless pleb.

just wait till bulb burns out.

I haven't seen one since I sold my GM

Probably
A problem like that can be caused by many different types of failures.

The best case is its a bad sensor or it just needs a valve adjustment

worst case, and ive only seen this a few times, you need a new camshaft.

Be glad you have one. Only alert I get is for low oil pressure

Where

...

My lights go on and off or flash at will.
Sensors on the Mk4 apparently have a tendency to be crap

Triumph, so the ignition light is probably on most of the time anyway.

>check engine light for months now
>still cannot figure out what it was
The code is just "Too lean during idle", already replaced/cleaned my injectors and waiting for an opportunity to replace the fuel pressure sensor

>its orange
>i can keep driving for another month with it

Wait, yours isn't always on?

I get this every time it rains. Water in the engine. It shakes and struggles to accelerate for a little but when it gets dry it stops and the light goes away
Hopefully I can squeeze one more year out of the car

Thanks BMW

Is your intake just a hole in your hood or something? Wtf

this 2bh. The Lambada doesn't like it when you drive with no exhaust.

They were pretty cool dudes, surprised me to find out they were both over 40.

only time this happened, it was well below 32F and my car overboosted. Fixed with a wastegate upgrade.
