When your check engine light turns on, it can either turn on and stay on or start flashing. If it starts flashing, you should pull over and get a tow to our service center immediately, as that indicates imminent damage to your engine. If it just turns on, however, that means you should bring it to us as soon as you have time so that we can diagnose it. At Rochester Volkswagen, we’ll find exactly what’s making your check engine light turn on and know how to fix it.
The check engine light is connected directly to the computer, which receives signals from sensors all over the car, especially from sensors on the fuel line. These sensors all read different metrics about the health of the fuel line (and, by extension, the health of the engine), and all have normal parameters. When an abnormal reading is taken, they send a code to the computer, which logs the code and then turns on the check engine light.
Our certified technicians are experts at check engine light diagnosis. They start by checking the code logged in the computer to find out what sensor gave an abnormal reading. From there, they can rule out several causes of the check engine light and find places where that abnormal reading could be caused. After they rule out all other causes, they’ll let you know how it can be taken care of appropriately.
Our experts work hard to make sure they know exactly how to care for your Volkswagen, and they’ve gone through rigorous training to become Volkswagen-certified. This means that they know Volkswagens and how to service them so well that Volkswagen has authorized them to perform service on Volkswagen’s behalf when necessary. If Volkswagen trusts our technicians, you can trust our technicians, and they’re always ready to prove just how good they are at taking care of your car.
