on the way to pick the mrs up i noticed the engine light come on i had been in the car for 2 mins, was just coming up to temp and the light comes on!

have come home it seams to driving fine

don't tell me i have to go back and visit my friendly dealers again!?

anything i can do to try and reset it?

i need the car first thing tomorow for a long journey? i presume i can't drive it like this

 

You can drive it like this, but i still wouldn't go to far, you will need to lift the code BEFORE the ECU is reset.

 

Prob another lambda sensor! Seems to be a few going bandy on new cars.

It should be fine as long as it's not flashing.

The CEL may even go out on a long journey

But yes, get to the dealer as soon as you can.

 

sorry tosound like a noob but whats a cel engine light is it?

also lifting the code from the ecu means nothing to me he he

its a brand new car and it comes with 3 years breakdown cover i think from the AA?

is it worth ringing them the cars at home does it even cover home visits

 

Cel light= check engine light. i'm not sure the AA will come out as its not a breakdown!! worth a try and see if they can lift the code with a code reader, this item reads any faults that the engine managment receives

 

i cant seam to find the manual at the min but i am certain its comes with cover but i am not sure who and have no card as such

 

Sorry i cant help that much without knowing the code!! as MB says it could be an Lamada playing around as this is known on the S and if this is the case it will go away on a long drive. Another thing i would check is the fuel fillup cap, as if this is loose you will throw a cel light, hope this helps!

 

just checked fuel cap off and back on seamed fine.

just started the car from cold and the little click you here sometimes on the induction side? seams to be doing it each time i reved it. When the revs were settleing it clicked again.

we have arranged to borrow the mrs farthers car tomorow, and i doubt i will get time to take the honda in either shall give them a ring tomorow see what they say

no luck in finding breakdown number? guess i should have it in case it happens away from home!?

 

That click is the cel coming on, nothing to worry about there, you are deffo better seeing what the code is though bud

 

yea me too might be sunday before i can get in now though.

have to go and use a derv now of all things tomorow! audi A4 estate bit of a difference!
