CEL

:o

CEL comes on at 1/2 tank of gas consistently. I haven't had it in the shop, yet. My guess is this is a tank pressurization issue. Any theories?

If I keep it above that level, there is no problem. Anybody seen this?

It's an '02 Carerra with only 2k miles.

Has your car had the gas cap recall (replacement) performed?

:o

I have never been informed of any recalls!

Maybe there's a better seal?

Thanks.

Just checked with the dealer. He said that there was no recall for the '02, but there was a recall for earlier models.

The two most common causes of CELs are a poor gas cap seal (regardless of the recalled caps) and a poor oil filler cap seal. You likely need to have the dealer readout the fault code or get someone with an OBD II scan tool to do the same. It could be something very simple like I mentioned.

Thanks, buddy. I'll let you know what we find out....
