Check Engine Light has come on intermittently for the last 2 years. It's a '06 Passat FWD 4cyl that ran great for the first year. The last 2yrs., the CEL comes on for approx. 30min. drive time then goes off. Does this about 10 times every 10,000 miles (some tanks of gas it will do it twice). Dealer says this can happen and if car seems to run fine, and as long as it goes off within a "reasonable" amount of time, it's ok to drive. Didn't like the answer I pressed them to better explain why this happens and what they need to replace to stop it from happening. They couldn't give a better answer. Otherwise, a good car.

Sometimes, the Check engine light always stays on. This does not happen every time. Checked with Archer VW, Houston few months ago and they said everything is fine and no problem has been logged in its electronic logs

Passat 3.2L V6
I've had numerous problems with my Passat, from expensive headlight repairs, new condenser, steering column replace, etc. This latest repair is going to be at leat $2000. My car started making loud noises upon starting, but the noises went away quickly. A few months later, the engine light came on and I've been told by my mechanic that the oil pump sprocket bolt broke off. He read about other Passat owners from 2006 having the same exact problem.
