To reset the engine light on a 2008 VW Eos, first, use an OBD-II scanner to read and clear any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that triggered the light. If you don't have a scanner, you can disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes to reset the system. After reconnecting the battery, check if the light remains off. If the light returns, it may indicate an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

The camshaft is typically located within the engine, either in the cylinder head (overhead camshafts) or in the engine block (overhead valve configurations). Its primary function is to control the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves in sync with the pistons' movements. The precise location can vary depending on the engine design, such as whether it is a single overhead cam (SOHC) or a double overhead cam (DOHC) configuration.

The button on the floor on the left side of the driver's side in an old Volkswagen, often found in models like the Beetle, is typically the hood release.
