Default Jetta Check Engine Light -- Computer Codes?

I had some success with the generic codes but it is probably not worth buying
one - it is not as specific.

Might be that the gas cap was not properly installed. Make sure that when you
tighten it you hear at least three clicks.

A vag-com tool with a computer should help understand those DTCs
I bought mine from ross-tech.com and am very pleased with it!!! <g>
