The check engine light in your VW often indicates issues with the direct injection system or timing chain components that require immediate professional evaluation. DSG transmission problems manifest as rough shifting, hesitation during acceleration, or unusual noises during gear changes, particularly in models like the Jetta and Tiguan. Timing chain noise, especially during cold starts, suggests wear that could lead to catastrophic engine damage if left unaddressed.
