My daughter's Jetta seems to blow a little oil out the exhaust.Seems to be fairly common Jetta issue. This has led to the catalytic converter getting fouled which in turn makes the "check engine light" go on. I asked the mechanic if he has ever heard of the possibility of cleaning the cat out maybe with a hot tank or some alkaline type de-greaser and putting it back into service. He didn't know, since they usually just replace parts and don't really care about the economy of the fix. The cat for this car is about a $700 fix. Fortunately it's covered under the warranty at this point, but probably won't be the next go around. Anybody got any ideas on this? thanks
