Hello,
I recently bought a used 2003 Jetta TDI. The car now has 95K miles. The previous owner provided maintenance records and seems to have done a good job keeping up with scheduled maintenance.
I was loving this car . . . until my Check Engine Light (CEL) came on yesterday. I noticed the Temperature Sensor Gauge was not working - the needle just stayed stuck at the bottom. I was hoping the two symptoms were related.
Today, as I was driving to the mechanic, the temperature gauge began working again after a few miles, but the CEL stayed on. The car is driving well . . . so far.
I went on line and found a TON of articles about the CEL in the 2003 Jetta TDI. Some people have replaced a bunch of parts, including catalytic converter - only to have the light come back on, time after time.
Has anyone else experienced this with their TDI??? If so, how was it resolved?
My car is at the shop right now, undergoing a $166.00 diagnostic. I'll keep you posted.
Wanting to remain in love with my TDI,
Kath.
