I took it and had the oil changed the next day and I was about 30 miles down the road when I heard a sound...

    My 01 passat 1.8t has been throwing the p0171 system too lean bank 1 code for some time and while it hasnt affected drivability at all, I would sleep better at night if I had an idea of what would be causing this.
