I went to dealer,service lady told me the cap and she did tighten it and light went off. they still went through testing and told me there is control close to water pump, there is a leak, maybe damage the control. total price $800.00 +. I reject repair. charged me $108.00 for the testing. this industry intentionally rob people blind. it happened to my prius yesterday morning.

I had the same problem, even my speedometer used to shutdown and accelerator felt wierd and as soon as i do a sharp turn my engine stalled. Buy a speed sensor from the dealer (its very cheap) and try and fit it ur self as it only clips in clips out. or take it to a garage where they'll charge u a tenner to clip it on.

When you shut the door does the dome light stay on for several 20 minute trips just to make sure? SOunds like a builtin dealer money maker to me.

I just went to the Advance Auto shop, they told me exactly that... (Just "misplaced" my gas cap and lost it....emissions leak was the read ) ANYWAY, this light WILL reset if I keep driving on it?

Everytime we take it to emissions it fails. We now have our mechanic take it for us and he gets it to pass. Not sure what he does but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the car. I use to take it into the dealer but at $85.00 evertime we took it in was getting expensive and they could not find anything wrong with the darn thing... dam VW bug check engine light has been on since we bought it.
