Yes, I just had my second CEL and I had Autozone give me the codes. I have an Engine Coolent Temp Sensor and a P1128. Has anybody had any experieces with ether one of these, and what is a P1128? Thanks from a newbie.
I need to find out what this means since I am going to be driving down to Albuquerque in the next day or so. I hope that somebody knows what the p1128 means. Thanks.
I checked all of the hoses that are on top of the engine, but I did not see any cracks or obvious problems with them. Where is the coolent temp sensor on the 1.8 engine?
a web page with all the vw CEL codes is http://www.bentleypublishers.com/tech/vw/dtl.table.htm .I suffered a p1128 and it was a leak in a small vacuum hose somewhere near the bottom of the engine( I think) that has been mentioned in several other posted questions and is apparently quite common and a cheap easy fix. I would search the clubb5 forums and archives for one post in particular which included pictures of the culprit , instructions etc. Unfortunately, I discovered clubb5 after this happened to me, and so paid for 2 hours of labor for the mechanic to find the leak. Good luck.
Thanks for the info. I will do a search on it and see what I can find. Your mentioning that it was a small leak on the bottom side of the engine reminded me that I bottomed out on a steep ramp leading into a parking lot just before I got the CEL. Thanks also for the URL.
