Hey guys,
I purchased my 2010 Jetta TDI Sedan around 10/15/09... 400 miles later I had the check engine light come on and the car threw a 00315 code. The dealer had my car for a few days while they ordered an O2 sensor.
Everything has been good on my car since then, until today.
I turned the car on today to drive to work. Within the first minute of the drive I realized the (solid) check engine light was on. I'm not sure if it turned on when I started the car, or shortly after leaving the house? Since it's the weekend and VW is closed, I was hoping someone on this forum could give me some ideas of what could have caused this?
Here is some info to hopefully narrow it down:
The car is up to around 8,500 miles now and is coming up on it's 10k service, but that hasn't been performed yet.
I was driving normally at residential speeds during cool spring weather when I noticed the light, less than 2 minutes into my drive to work.
The car didn't show any negative signs, and has been and continues to drive normally.
The car always burns really good diesel from a local place called Wardway Fuels here in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was down to the last 30% of my tank, but above the red gas line. I doubt it was anything to do with bad gas for these reasons. I can also rule out the gas cap not being tight - I checked it.
I heard something on these forums about a software update? My car doesn't have it. Could this have anything to do with the light?
Hopefully this is enough to narrow down what it could be.
Thank you guys in advance!
Sincerely,
Ben
