#3: Re: loss of power then eng management light on Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2011 8:40 am ---- What model is your car?
PM Lee if you decide to get the ECU read, he might not be to far away from you depending where you are in Notts, think he only charges £20-£25

getting the ecu scanned by lee is your best shout, if it doesn't tell you exactly whats wrong it'll at least give us something to go off ^_^

The codes still should be stored in the ECU, they don't go until cleared.
What code reader did you end up using?

#15: Re: loss of power then eng management light on Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:56 am ---- I'd just be tempted to leave it mate, as it didn't come back on after we fired it up twice and revved it a bit.
