Exhaust Emissions Light
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2009 11:20 am
So, off I went shopping yesterday, everything fine, pulled out of the carpark and then after about a minute the light came on, just during normal town driving.
Got annoyed, so just carefully got home and then checked the manual, its a constant light, and book says may be lambda probe, have had a search around on here and its been a wide variety of things.
One of the threads had some conflicting information about if the light resets after 5 restarts of the car, and, guess what, it has now gone out, but I am certain I've only started the car 4 times. So, does anybody have any information for definite about if the light goes off itself.
And, to stop my paranoia, is there anyone down near Bristol by me that would be willing to run vag-com, my local garage are really good, but still I cant help thinking I may be paying over the odds for what may turn out to be a cheap sensor just for their time to check, will chuck some money your way, well, that is if people think its worthwhile now the light has gone out?
On a side note, the car has always run perfectly, and hasnt changed in anyway, thats why this light confused the hell outta me.
Cheers, Ed
