P0133 is a common OBDII code that occurs in many vehicles, including theVolkswagen Golf. The code is triggered when there is an issue with the response time from the oxygen (O2) sensor when switching voltage levels. The O2 sensor is responsible for helping the ECM meter oxygen levels in the exhaust in order to … Read more
P0132 is a common OBDII code that occurs in many vehicles, including the Volkswagen Golf. The code is triggered when: The voltage at the sensor remains above threshold for 20 seconds or more. The air fuel sensor stays in rich biased mode for too long. There are also some less likely problems that can … Read more
The P0131 code is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code that indicates low voltage in the Volkswagen Golf’s Oxygen (O2) sensor circuit for Bank 1, Sensor 1 (B1S1). This sensor plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal engine performance by detecting the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust, then sending this data to the Golf’s engine control … Read more
P0330 is a powertrain OBDII trouble code that has the same meaning for the Volkswagen Golf as it would any other vehicle. By definition, it means that the vehicles ECM/PCM isn’t getting the proper signal from the knock sensor. Clearing this code typically requires a new knock sensor. The second most common cause is … Read more
P0130 is a very common OBDII code that occurs in the Volkswagen Golf. It is typically caused when the Oxygen Sensor voltage is not within normal operating conditions. Volkswagen Golf P0130 Symptoms Typically, the only symptom of P0130 is going to be the service engine soon light. In some cases, there can be other symptoms … Read more
P0161 is a very common OBDII code that occurs in the Volkswagen Golf. It is typically caused by a failure in one of the elements that heat the oxygen sensors, specifically bank 2 sensor 2. Replacing the Oxygen sensor will fix the problem a majority of the time. Some of the other causes of P0161 … Read more
P0155 is a very common OBDII code that occurs in the Volkswagen Golf. It is caused by a failure in one of the oxygen sensors heated elements, specifically bank 2 sensor 1. The purpose of the heated element in the oxygen sensor is to quickly bring your O2 sensor up to normal operating temperature after … Read more
P0017 in the Volkswagen Golf is predominantly caused by a few different things. It is typically thrown when the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Camshaft Position Sensor are out of alignment by a certain number of degrees, or if there is an issue with the wiring, or one of the sensors themselves may have … Read more
P0016 is know to occur in the Volkswagen Golf when the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Camshaft Position Sensor are out of alignment by a certain number of degrees, or if there is a sensor issue. We’ll explore the symptoms and causes directly below. P0016 refers to which camshaft position sensor is out of time … Read more
P0507 is a fairly typical OBDII trouble code that can occur in the Volkswagen Golf. It is typically triggered when the engine idle speed is 200 rpm or more over the predetermined limit set by the Volkswagen It is a generic code, which means that it has the same meaning for the Volkswagen Golf as any other vehicle. … Read more
