Why does the Malfunction Indication Light on my '99 VW Jetta continue to stay on despite getting it worked on?

We recently bought this '99 VW Jetta from a private owner and the light never went on during test driving but then it continues to go on. We got it worked on and it stopped but then next time we drove it, it started again.


Any clue as to what this may be?|||First off unhooking the battery does not work on 1996 and newer cars.


Secondly take it to a national auto parts store and let them scan it and reset the codes. If it comes back on then the code they read is your problem.|||Whoever is working on it hasn't fixed the problem yet. Once it's fixed it will stay off when reset.|||it could be an O2 censer. when you got it worked on they may have unhooked the battery for about ten seconds to get the light to turn off, but a short while later it will come back on. the person you bought it from may have done that also just so you wouldnt see the light on. you can take it to your local parts store and they will test it for free and tell you what the problem is. Good luck|||if it's running fine leave it. check engine lights do that all the time.|||you'd have to tell us what the code the mechanic got from the computer before we can begin to help you there are ten's of thousands of reasons for a check engine light to come on
