Just got a CEL. Noticed some oil burning/smoke at a long light last night. Also felt like I had a fuel cut off this morning on the freeway. Also, the car will only boost to 10psi or so now, probably in protect mode. Ah, the joys of owning a VW!

1 shitty trip to parents house, tons of road construction and 1st-gear poking along. Tuesday night's drive home with full A/C (that isn't quite cold enough), and having to beat the shit out of the car because its such a dog when the compressor is running.
