My 2000 Passat GLX has gone through a series of problems over the past couple of weeks after getting the alignment adjusted. I've been getting some vibration while accelerating since the alignment, and a couple of nights ago the car suddenly began making noises - sometimes a squeak, sometimes a noise that sounds like a fan. It makes the noises mostly on turns. I started it this morning, and the car was shuddering like crazy and the "Check Engine" light went on. After driving for a block, the "Emissions Workshop" light went on as well. I'm not sure if this is all tied together, but I'm wondering if this problem is worth the investment to fix at this point. The car is closing in on 200,000 miles.
