So ive just recently purchased a 2001 2.0 turbo v4 passat with 83,000 miles on it less than a week ago. Its super clean and all. And the preowner seemed veryhonest. And he was a mechanic as well. And 2 days ago, ive decided to buy and install a jvc 2 din head unit in the dash. I went to intense kustom audios inOceanside new york to get it done. The tv came out great, but as soon as I pulled out of their lot, my check engine light went off. Im thinking they messed upmy sensors because my father told me that German cars usually have antitheft systems that might mess up the sensors. (and keep in mind that the stock was apremium monsoon) so the next day I took the car back. They reset the battery and kept telling me that the obd cant link to my car. (it actually didn't, Isaw it myself). Afterwards they kept telling me that the preowner probably reset it and it probably came on again. (Which is a total lie cuz I took the car toa mechanic to get an oil change and everything checked out.) So now the check engine light is off, but it might come on again any time now. Can someone pleasehelp me in what I should do, or what the problem is or probably is. I just turned 18 and worked my butt off to purchase this car for college and put my lastcents into the head unit, which was obviously a huge mistake. and i also came back from a 10 mile drive like an hour ago and my engine is still burning hot. isthat normal?
