Hi i just got a 2000 vw passat and lately ive been having some issues with it.. first on the dashboard a warning sign pops up saying.."emission workshop" so i was wonering what that was?
second lately it has also been accelerating on its own meaning that when it is in drive and i brake at a red light for example, it starts to feel as though it is being accelerated..i can see the rpm needle rising one dash and coming back down i was wondering what that was??
lastly when i push the car to go over 80 to 90 miles per hour it starts to shake alot??
