Warning Lights & Limited Power
« on: 23 March 2015, 14:34 »
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem or posted.

Anyway had this come up a few times, the Engine management warning light (flashing) and the emissions control lamp.

Sometimes it's just the Engine management warning light (flashing). Mentioned it at to the garage when it went in for a service and was told it was solved, now its back on.

Any ideas?

Sounds like its the classic oil burner EGR exhaust sensor.

You have too much polutants coming out, the engine goes into limp home mode to stop hippies from choking.

Did have a tuning box fitted but it's not been on for the last 10k miles.
