Hi all, New to this but wonder if anyone can help?
My Car died a few days ago, after engine management light came on. I started up again fine and worked as normal too. Light went off after a day but same thing happens today, it seems to only happen after five mins of starting? Any ideas, I also have a problem with header tank not holding coolant properly wondered if that might be associated?
It's a 206 1.6 2001 Y.

Just take it to an auto electrician and chuck them a few quid for telling you what it says.

under what assumption lol??
the header tank loosing water could simply be a bad fitting onto its hose. the car "dieing" could be anything, fuel, electrical, etc.
everyone always jumps to the HG
