My g/f's car's MIL (check engine) came on and started blinking, and her car shakes when not moving.
i took it to a VW Dealership, and he recommended a tune-up to correct a "misfire." They broke down the cost of fixing it as follows:
Drivability Diagnosis - $105.95
Set Readiness Code - 50.00
Minor Tune-up (2.0L AEG 98/01) - 245.74
Air Filter (2.0L 98/05) - 46.00
Synthetic Oil & Filter Change w/ Lube - 54.90
Fuel Filter, R&R (2.0L 98/05) - 76.41
Fuel Injector Flush - 139.95
TOTAL = $718.95.
Does this seem reasonable? We purchased the car from an individual several months ago, so I cannot vouch for its maintenance history.
Thank you...

Blinking engine lt. Poor performance-barely make it up a hill.
Mechanic said bad O2 sensor--Replaced--had same problem-
Used "ADVANCED AUTO" Diagnostic meter---FREE FREE FREE
Code read MISFIRE
Replaced COIL pack!!!!!!!!!
Returned to Advance auto to clear codes---
NO CHECK engine light --runs like new
Believe the COIL pack went bad causing the sensor to clog and go bad--Probably could have just cleaned it.
Cost $200 parts and free labor>LOTS of bad words,gerasy hands and good running car
HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE
I don't know where you live but that is way outragous here in Dayton Ohio.

air filter 10 to 15.00 install yourself

fuel filter 10 to 15.00 install yourself
fuel injector flush skip it run good quality gas such as Shel or BP
Total 168.00
Just direct to the point, engine vibration problem!! check for d air leak from your engine vacuum system or replace the new oil seperator for your engine vacuum. refer to the vw technician and ask for the location. the rubber seal inside there must be broken. replace the new 1. i have solved this problem for vw golf GTI and vw tiguan.
