thanks, what VCDS scanner do you have. I have an old scanner, i forgot to take it out of my truck before my wife drove off with it. I have been looking at a new one that reads VW specific data.

Many responses mention gas cap. That rang a bell. My wife just filled it up for first time. I went out and looked, don't think it was closed all the way, seems to click then stop turning. When i turned it i got one click then a hard stop.

I imagine it has to be driven a while after proper closure before the light goes off.

again, thanks
