Why did the catalytic converter light come on on Volkswagen Golf VI?
Years 2008-2012

Answer

If the warning light is flashing it is advisable to stop the car as soon as possible, because if the catalyst does not communicate the correct data to the control unit, the ratio of air and fuel in the mixture will not be the right one and could cause serious damage to the car.
