Engine management light

[itsmeagain]

Recently had and engine management light pop up on the dash. I gave it a quick scan with VCDS and got the following:

Took it back to the dealer that i got the car, as its under warranty.
First they said it was an old code that just needed erasing. The next day it was back on the dash.
Second visit it was diagnosed as the Evap canister valve. They said they changed the valve and road tested it and it was now fine, all fault codes cleared etc.
But they wanted to take it on an extended road test. I asked what they meant and was asked if the service guy could take my car home with him to Stoke. Maybe i am wrong but that sounds like a total joke, never heard of such a stupid idea.
Anyway 3 days later the lights back on the dash, and no i didn't let the idiot take my car home.
Any ideas guys ????????
Would anyone let them take the car home to complete the road test???????

I wouldn't dream of letting anyone take my car home if it was in their garage for work. Sounds a bit suspect to me.

Is the fault code the same again.

Yeah, haven't checked yet but i am sure it is the same fault. They said that the valve was changed.
All the guy wanted to do was race my car about after work. The service manager was surprised that i said no. Lol

Hi - I have the same error code. Did you get this sorted and if so what work did you have to get done ? Thanks - Ben

Is this the PCV diaphragm causing issues? Aren't they known to fail?

I had the same error on my MK2 for as long as I had it. I replaced the pcv valve, pipes and even the petrol cap! It kept coming back, while I was at my regular garage I mentioned it and the Lead Technician said he had the same error on his Golf for nearly a decade and just ignores it as it has no effect on the running of the car.

Not too helpful, I know. I think only once it put the EML light on. I cleared it and it never came on again after that. But the code was always back whenever I scanned it.
