problem #1

Feb 022007

(reported on)

Beetle 2.5L V5

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

The engine light and gas cap light kept coming on randomly. Dealer told us it was our fault for not putting the gas cap on correctly. They also adjusted something on the cap. The problem came back again. This time they told us it was still our fault for not putting the gas cap on right.

This time they said they didn't do anything, but must have replaced/adjusted something, as it hasn't come on since then (and no, we haven't changed the way we screw on the gas cap).
