Engine Warning light

[ub7rm]

If your temp sensor has stopped working, your ecu will think the engine is cold and will run rich (as is normal for a cold start).  Try this first as its cheap and easy to fix.

My engine light came on for the first time in ages today reading "BANK1 system measure fuel too rich" (Vag Com 16556). I've had both the lambda sensors replaced and the MAF sensor a while back and since then the lights come on twice reading the same error. Most unreliable car I've every owned. All my other cars I've ever owned were Vauxhalls and never cost me this much stress.

Sounds like this system too rich problem is all too common throughout this thread.

lol don't compare VW's to V*******s please.

My too rich problem was a simple lambda sensor replacement. Been good as gold ever since. Sounds like you have just been a little unlucky.

Unlucky aint the word, Sounds like I bought a whole load of trouble.

Seriously thinking of trading it in now for something small and cheaper to run. It's been the garage more than its been on the road LOL.
