This is Chris Niendorf thanks for your time but I put the car back togather and cleared the code and it all work the code stade cleared

Sounds like a rear wheel bearing that needs replacing. If you have the tools check out Scotty Kilmer's handy video http://youtu.be/OeSykJguOjY

Have a mechanic check the valve timing as I think that the valves are bent and is out of timing

Yes they are related in a way. When you have multi-misfire or any other problem that would throw a check engine light, the cruise control will be disabled until the code is cleared. What code is the check engine light throwing?

your rod may be bent causing the cylnder to mis fire(valve sticking.)

Its easy. 6 bolts hold that trim on remove them and gently remove the trim

sounds like the manifold gasket is bad, or the exhaust pipe coming from the manifold head was not properly seated. Got back to auto zone and get a repair/maintence manual for your car , and it should help you get the manifold head gasket/muffler assembly back together.

these dashboards are a a pain! there are fuses in the fusebo under the bonnet, check them firt, also remove them and put them back to see if it resets it, if not then there is a test you can do,,,,,

press the mileage button on the dash, turn the ignition key to position one release the button and the das should perform a complete check, i.e gauges and mileage pixel.

Good luck Davelee, p.s, please rate me.

check the cluster fuse?

It is very difficult to "reset" the check engine light. There is a memory for the codes, and if you COULD reset it, the light will simply just come right back on if you have a bad sensor or something like that. Get it scanned & report the code back to me.

I have a 98 passat 4cyl turbo and my oil light and now engine light is on. Took it to checkers for a diagnosis and they couldnt read the computer. Just passed emissions 4 days ago and they had to try 3 times to read the computer. What are some reasons this might be going on?
