Had this code pop up several weeks ago, then disappear after being cleared 2 or 3 times, but now it's back.
So what's the deal?
A little background: The car was in a front-end collision, and when we got it back a few buttons on the steering wheel weren't working. So we took it back for them to fix, and the solution involved taking it to a VW dealer and getting "the electrical system reset," or something similar to that. Likely involving the ECU, I would imagine. Engine light came on within a day or so of the "reflash," or whatever they did.
Many many thanks for any input on this. We'll have the car at a dealer on Friday to activate our gifts from VW, so I figure if I'm not sure what the problem is by that point I'll have to ask them for a diagnosis. And while I'm not completely on the "stealership" bandwagon, it's not a stretch to think they may end up finding a ~$500 problem. So I'd like to have some clues and thoughts on the issue so I can keep them in line, if need be. Thanks again!
