    Thanks guys - according to manual it is in fact an Exhaust Gas Warning Lamp - telling me that the quality of the exhaust gas has reduced (e.g - lambda probe fault).

    I reckon that one can wait till the weekend to see the dealer.

    The symbol looked like a motor to me.......

    Dealer service wont be open on the weekend will it? I actually had the codes show up, they cleared them and it came back, so I left it till the sensors were replaced.

    Engine Warning Light

    I just had the light come on this morning. Mine has done 16,000km, delivered March '07.

    I was worried until I looked up the manual and it said poor exhaust quality. As far as I'm concerned all exhaust gas is bad for you.

    Will take it to the dealer and see what they say. Have changed back to normal mode and amazed how different the car feels (slow), will be interesting to see if they notice the APR software.

    Had the same thing - it was a fuel purge valve.

    But it could be a zillion things - just let the dealer do their thing.

    my engine light came on last week so i took it to VW and they said it was my oxygen sensor. they switched the code off and off i went. about 10 mins later if came back on so i'll have to book into VW and get the sensors replaced. how long do they need the car for because Gold Coast VW won't give me a courtesy car. they said you have to book them at least 3 months in advance......WTF?? what a load of crap!
