NJ state inspection ctr. can not read emissions from computer. They tell me I have to bring my car to VW to have them check my computer. Then bring it back for inspection. When the car fails inspection 3 times then they can put the "snifter" up the tail pipe. Also the abs light and the triangle with a circle light is on, and has been on for a year after having new axle and front breaks replaced.

im in agreement with them about having the computer checked at VW. no communication indicates computer issues that could be causing the other lights. however if the ABS light was on immediately after, and ever since the brake work wa done then id be willing to bet that a wheel sensor or wire was damaged during the axle/brake repair.
