| Description of the problem | As i was driving on the interstate my battery light and epc light came on and stated to service engine now. The car started to become jumpy and i immediately took it to the closest dealer. After running a diagnostic, they stated my fuel injector has a leak and is leaking into the exhaust system. I have googled this issue and have found that there was a recall but only for diesel engines for vw which my car is not. Apparently this issue can cause the car to catch fire. |
