I was driving down the motorway as you do and I noticed my engine warning came on BUT ! I didn't loose and power the car was still running perfect so I took it home anyways left it over night and started it up in the morning not a problem but I don't want to drive it just in case its like real bad
Has anyone had this before ?
Cheers in advance

#6: Re: engine warning light Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 4:28 am ---- can be anything then. need to get a diagnostic reading on it. could be a sensor misread something and it's now corrected itself but the eml is still on as its flagged something up.

#14: Re: engine warning light Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:41 am ---- Possibly a CAT related fault, as they tend to get clogged up a bit on short journeys then when you give them some hammer it triggers the light. Just get it read, and clear it and see if it returns.
