The yellow engine light came on and my manual simply states to get it to a Volkswagen dealer. How serious is this…what are the possibilities? I live 1.5 hours from the nearest possible technician. Update (12/03/2017) Tysvm. I do not have a obd and cannot have one until the 11th(I’m very rural)… I’m wondering if it’s safe to drive until then. I drive 80 mi a day for work. Again, ty for that suggestion!!

A lit engine light can mean many things. any chance you have an OBD-II reader? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fixd-72312029… Note: my car knoledge is very limited so after this I’m not sure If I can help you.
