The check engine light is complimentary with any VW product ๐คฃ I love how nice the damn things are but never met one who's dashboard didn't look like a Christmas tree.
My golf before it finally became too much to keep up.
The brake, brake wear, blown light, and tps weren't real, they were all bad sensors. The windshield washer fluid was low, and it had emissions issues though.
TBF, most cars do that now a days. Car brands don't make their own ABS systems, they buy them from manufacturers like Bosh and Denso; and they all work on the "CAMBUS" standard, meaning that all sensors talk to each other over a network. Normally these systems light up an individual diagnostics light to let you know if there's a problem detected (low brake pad / fluid indicator, parking brake, ABS light) so to differentiate when there's a system error such as a sensor that can't communicate it lights them all up at the same time to let you know.
For example my 06 G35 did that for a stupid brake sensor, cost me endless hours of troubleshooting to pinpoint.
I HAVE
My brother has one that squeaks and squeals from all its hinges, and often goes to the country side on crappy roads, but it has no damn check engine light
Mine is a city baby and has one, dammit
i have! the fun part is while the malfunction lights weren't lit up, neither was anything else :D
