Check Engine Light Services

Your Volkswagen has sensors throughout the powertrain and exhaust system. As you drive, the sensors send data to the onboard computer. If any of that data is outside of the expected ratios, the main computer will illuminate lights on your dash.

If you see your Volkswagen check engine light blinking, you can bring your Volkswagen to our dealership so our technicians can use their OBD II code reader to determine the problem. The code reader will share a code that tells the technicians what sensor triggered the light. It could be something as minor as a loose gas cap or a faulty O2 sensor. The sensor could also show a problem with the spark plugs or the catalytic converter.

As soon as the check engine light illuminates, we recommend bringing your Volkswagen to the service center at Spitzer Volkswagen Amherst. Waiting too long could create more problems, even with the sensors themselves.
