Title: New on here! Engine management light
Post by: Jason007 on 08 September 2013, 23:02
Hi guys,

I have recently bought a mk4 golf 1.8t aum and the engine management light has just recently come on. I have brought the car last week and come on the next day. The car runs fine, after having a look at the service history docs that come with the car, there Is an ecu fault. I called the dealer where it was last serviced and they was giving me some bull saying no codes come up etc.... Tbh I'm not that much of a car person ha...

I took the car to a local garage and it come up with 3 fault codes which I forgot to take down, but my mate told me not to worry as they were not that important faults and reset it etc..

I'm from Guildford, does anyone know a car dealer/specialist that specialises in ecu that you can reccommend? The cars performance is fine , just for peace of mind as the lights doing my head in,

Cheers

Without knowing the fault codes it's almost impossible to help. I doubt the fault is with the ecu though.

Why you think it's not a fault with the ecu? On the advisory note of the service. It said. Engine management light, ecu fault as previous :s

ECU light will fail an mot test, you should call the garage that did your computer test and ask them what the codes were.
