Has your Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Tiguan SUV, Volkswagen Touran SUV or Volkswagen Touareg SUV check engine light turned on? It can be scary to see an engine warning light suddenly appear on your dashboard. A variety of issues can cause a check engine light to come on. Some are more serious than others. It is very fortunate that European Auto Care Sacramento is here to help you figure out what the issue is and what your options are. We are faster and more reasonably priced than the typical Volkswagen dealership.

Below are some of the more common reasons for a Volkswagen check engine light to turn on. This is why we recommend keeping up with your VW's maintenance schedule. We are aware of and expertly equipped to evaluate and take care of these issues for you. Simply drive by our shop, call us or fill out our Request Appointment form.

• Loose Gas Cap
  The Volkswagen gas cap could be loose, broken or simply missing. Gas cap issues can allow fuel vapors to escape and reduce fuel pressure, reducing fuel economy and increasing harmful emissions.
• Broken Thermostat
  The Volkswagen thermostat in the engine helps manage operating temperatures and avoid overheating. A defective VW thermostat can cause a check engine light to appear on your dash. It's important to make sure your thermostat is in good condition to prevent engine damage from excess heat.
• Bad Catalytic Converter
  The VW catalytic converter can eventually clog with material – especially with higher mileage vehicles. A catalytic converter is a vital part of the Volkswagen emissions system. It is removing toxic carbon monoxide. If your catalytic converter is failing or clogged, it can severely impact fuel economy and vehicle performance.
• Faulty Spark Plugs or Spark Plug Wires
  Eventually your Volkswagen will need new spark plugs and/or spark plug wires. The VW spark plugs create a hot spark that ignites the air-and-fuel mixture in the cylinder. They are allowing your engine to start and run. If your VW has faulty spark plugs or spark plug wires, it can cause your engine to misfire and reduce fuel economy, performance and may even prevent your Volkswagen from running.
• Problem w/ Oxygen Sensor
  After some time, your oxygen sensor may need to be replaced. The Volkswagen oxygen sensor gives vital air-fuel mixture information directly to the car's ECU. Problems can cause your VW's computer to supply the engine with too much or too little fuel. A Volkswagen engine with not enough fuel can cause total engine failure. An engine with too much fuel can create excessive smoke and a foul odor.
• Mass Air Flow Sensor Issues
  When your VW is exposed to dirty or particle-rich air, the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor may fail. Like the Volkswagen oxygen sensors, the MAF sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine. It helps ensure the proper air-to-fuel mixture. If the Volkswagen MAF sensor is faulty, it can cause your engine to misfire. It may ultimately cause poor fuel economy, performance and possibly more damage to your engine.
