Damnit! Today an exhaust gas warning lamp lit up. :huh:
Never had/felt any problem with the engine before, put only V-Power petrol in it, and did not overfill the oil.
I wonder if this is serious, anybody have any idea what that could be? Manual suggests it could be lambda probe fault :undecided: is it serious? Could it damage my sweety?

Not serious for your engine if it is the exhausts lambda probe at fault. A visit to the dealer under warranty should sort it out :smiley:

I had this very fault, stealer said 90% of the faults that light that warning lamp are a fualty Lambda. Its not a biggy Peskarik, get in in to your stealer and get it replaced. Its also fine to drive on it in the meantime

What was the outcome of this?
I had the lamp flash today, only for 30seconds or so and then it disappeared and all was well.
No hesitation, it occurred when I was over taking so throttle was fully down etc, so may have just cleared it self out etc?

^^ i know it wont be as you know what your doing, but it wasnt the traction flashing was it ?

had it 3 months ago,took to dealers turned out to be fuse for fan on the rad.The guy who fixed it for me said that light comes on for lots of things even though it says lambda sensor in manual
