Hello!I ' ve got VW Jetta GL 1995 2.0. I just picked up my car from mechanical shop after Timing Belt replacement. Now I have Check Engine On. Moreover car looks underpowered while driving and I feel small vibrating (I think it comes from engine) while I an driving it. When I stand on neutral I don't feel any vibration from engine. Sometimes now after standing a night it starts from second or third time. It was not so before Timing Belt replacement. Mechanic who replaced Timing belt told me that it's not dangerous to have Check Engine On and said that I don't need to worry about it. However I don't want to drive my car underpowered.....it seems like it has 1.5 instead of 2.0)) I was trying to find a diagnostic unit in couple of mechanic shops but all of them have OBD II connectors. Mine is OBD I as far as I understand. What is the best way to solve my problem? Is it possible to find a cable for my connector and connect it with laptop in order to check my car? Can I adjust my ignition by using software downloaded on my laptop? Thank you
I'll tell you what! If the mechanic told you that about the check engine light and the car runs like **** now....I would take your car back, tell him you will report him to the better business bureau and then see what he does. That is shotty maintenance and that car gives REAL mechanis a bad name.
Take your car back and tell him to fix it or you will sue him. PERIOD. You shouldn't have to come here to figure out how YOU should fix your car after a mechanic like that just did work on YOUR car.....wow....really ********** about that.

Turn the key off and on three times... ending with the key on.... count the times the check engine light blinks.... those are your codes it's helpful to have someone else write them down so you don't miss any. post the codes here when you have them
