Exhaust Gas Warning Lamp
« on: June 05, 2010, 10:37:48 pm »
Hello

The exhaust gas warning lamp came on earlier today as I was driving.  Checked the manual and it says could be lambda sensor.  Had a quick search on here and not that many posts regarding a similar fault.

I've got VCDS so will do a scan tomorrow (not that I know what I'm looking at ha ha!).  Shall I attempt to clear the fault and see if it comes back or take it to VW?

Am I ok to keep driving as the car doesn't feel any different?

Thanks

Scan it and post it up on here. That light can come on for a lot of reasons.  :wink:

I would flow this process to start with for the first fault code: -

Thanks for the replies guys.

I've gone through the process in the link, do I now have to clear the fault codes and see if the error comes back or should it clear itself?
