Default COIL PACK REPAIR FOLLOWUP - 04-24-2007 , 08:30 PM






Back in February, I presented a problem of an intermittent shorting of
the ignition coil in a 1999 VW Jetta VR-6, which VW said it wasn't
responsible for, although they did do a recall on ignition coils on
later model cars. One of the suggestions in the discussion was the
"epoxy fix" by Marc Gallagher. For those not familiar with this
solution, see:

Well, the epoxy job was done, but the "check engine" light remained on
after at least 30 startups over a 26 day period. I visited a friendly
local mechanic (don't find many of them around these days) and he read
the fault codes before clearing them. (I didn't think to ask what kind
of scanner he uses, but he was worried that he might not be able to
clear them.) I had two:

P-1128
Null

Can someone translate these??

Thanks,

Mike (just another Jetta owner)
