| The hose for your filler neck may be cracked. A bit of a PITA to change. Do a search on here, or on type2.com for a procedure. Jeremy |

"Remove the left kick panel. Follow the speedo cable down to the black box. On the box will be the reset button. Press it and the light will go out."

In response to the gas leak, I had the same thing happen to me. Turns out that there is a small (2-3") piece of fuel line that connects two fuel vent lines. It had dry rotted after 24 years of service, and gave way. It was hard for me to see it, so take a flashlight and shine it up the vent shaft on the driver side. You should be able to see the two metal vent pipes and the connecting fuel line. I think it's a 1/4" piece of tube. Tell us what you find out.

It's behind the spare tire well and very dangerous if you don't replace it. Too bad VW did it this way (put a hose in a location unprotected from the weather):
