I just finally got my Jetta back yesterday but that night, it already something turned my CEL (Check Engine Light for über n00bs) and my fog lights just did not work. I brought it to my mechanic first thing this morning to get this all checked out. The OBDII scanner gave a P0171 code “Fuel Trim,Bank1 System too Lean” meaning that there could be like 10 items that could be causing this problem. Shane cleared the code and said “Come back if it turns on again”. By the time I got home it was off but as soon as I started the car to leave for class, light flickers back on. So I am in my accounting class currently and as soon as I get out, I am going right back. I hope it is nothing.
In better news, the new plate is fully mounted and ready to go. I had to drill some new holes to get it mounted right but if needed be that I have to replace the original plate bracket, the bracket will cover the holes. Than I zip tied the NY plate to the lower driver side corner so it doesn’t block anything. Ill take a picture later and edit this post to show it.
Edit: The second CEL was because of a missfire. Simple to fix. I just ordered NGK Laser Platinum plugs to replace the current ones. It’s only like $45 so it is not completely bad.
