> I’ve told you already about the 2000 VW Beetle. After much trying, replacing parts, the owner has not been able to get the check engine light to turn off. Seems to be related to the EGR system. He gave up & tried to sell it, but hasn’t been able to find a buyer…

This is a newer car with a bad gadget?

Buy the car and repair it yourself, you have been able to help everyone else and there are many old VWs in the auto salvage yards for a source of parts.
