AAP stores that check the light for you cannot clear it for a reason. They can't be held liable for clearing it and something happening to the car or driver... common sense.

The light could be coming on due to a bad cap. Since you already bought one, replace it and see what happens. If not, it sounds like a leak somewhere else in the emissions system.

Clear it by unhooking the battery for a half hour replace the cap, should be good

The typical screw light. I've got this on my Passat a couple times and it clears itself after a bit. Did you happen to just get some fuel?

well i had a quarter tank left when this happen came out to the car to drive my gf home i got gas 40 miles later ....got the cap....it went off...then i threw the cap in my backseat then the check engine light came on .....well i unplugged the battery lights on but i notice the engine is running a little rougher then usual so i have a feeling this is going to come back on when do the o2 sensors go on vws? i know all the americans i had it was usually in the high 90's low 100's which i am in now :hmm:

I've always been able to have Advance clear codes on the Gf's escort. Unfortunately, they can't read the passat.

Well so far so good 150 miles no light yet had a little bit of a rough idle so I gave her a tank of shell v power with a bottle of chevron techron so if it's gunk that will clean it right up and a odd moment of the gas station tho I filled up then my car wouldn't start then to realize the front edge of my hood was lined up with the gas station awning so it was pouring thinking a ass of water got in the engine compartment one more crank it fired up fail!
