Title: My first little problem
Post by: hol173 x on 30 June 2010, 12:24

Hi

I had a light come up the other day found out it was emissions, going to cost around £80 if i get it done. (my warranty doesnt cover it typical)

The light is off now is it still best to get it sorted or wait till it comes back on again? Will it do any real damage?

Need to find out why the light came on in the first place otherwise it could cause you severe trouble in the future

Never ignore a warning light!  :smiley:

It was to do with the sensor

lol which sensor in particular as there are several different ones

Can't advise until we know which one but I would assume its the Lambda sensor on the exhaust.  Either the sensor is faulty or possibly the wiring.  It will cause running problems if its not cured
