Car not reading at emissions station

[MistaCee]

My 1998 gti will not read at the emissions station. The check engine light also doesnt come on at all even when ignition is turned. I need some answers asap. I check the fuses and they are all good. If it was just the bulb then it wouldn't have been a problem on the machine.

its the cigerette lighter fuse trust me i see that all day long i am a emssions inspector, the check engine light on that could be alot of things, i mean have you jumped your car off or took the battery out?

GTI

its the VOLKSWagon issue, I bet you have a AFTERMARKET radion dont you!!!


If you do you need to disconnect the radio I had this issue like 30 times and after working on it the radio was the issue.....

Now for the CEL might just be a BULB we have replaced these after about 100k miles on a few also....

Hope this helps man
