emissions workshop / smog test   Printable Version Volkswagen Forum >> VW MODELS >> Volkswagen Passat >> emissions workshop / smog test Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> emissions workshop / smog test - 7/9/2008 3:12:34 PM    capattyr   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/9/2008 Status: offline My "emissions Workshop" light has been on for the last four years in my 2000 1.8 passat.  If the check engine light is on in CA, you are an automatic "fail"  when smogging your car.  I have been to my mechanic six time in the last six weeks to remedy this problem.  Everytime he fixes something, the light comes back on in about ten miles.  A different code pops up each time.  Does anyone know of a way to pass this smog check?   Post #: 1 RE: emissions workshop / smog test - 7/9/2008 8:38:50 PM    99vdubber   Posts: 10 Joined: 6/30/2008 Status: offline does your car have an aftermarket radio installed?
