Engine Management Light
« on: January 31, 2019, 09:54:26 am »
Hello,
I have an edition 30 2008 model and have a problem with the exhaust management light. So far I have had the PCV valve changed, the MAF Sensor and the 02 Sensor which turned the light off but only for it to come back on again. Now the light will stay on for several hundred miles and then go out again and the car seems to run fine. Anyone had this happen or have any knowledge they can share?
Also I live in Camberley and wondered if anyone knows of a decent garage.

At the very least you need a fault code scan. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of things that can cause the light to come on. Throwing parts at it is not the way to go

Hi Jearum, I'm reading for work but visit bracknell every other weekend, and I'm down there next Tuesday evening, If you wanted to pop over and meet me somewhere i don't mind doing a quick scan for you. should see if that points you in the right direction?

as Dan FR said.. you will need a scan definitely, as it could be anything!
