#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.
#7: Re: engine warning light Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 4:30 am ---- yeah... i forgot to mention that i had a DR on it but the one my machanic used was too 'new' for my car so looks like its a garage job ... do you know how much ruoghly they cost ?

#12: Re: engine warning light Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:31 am ---- Is it the first time you've done a long/high speed journey in a while? Normally do short journeys?
#13: Re: engine warning light Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:39 am ---- yeah normally short journeys but .... i was literaly going from solihull to sutton and i thourght ill jump on the motorway be a bit quikcer i mean my car wont go very quick been a (1.1) but yano lol
i was only on the motorway for about 10 mins and the light came on
#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.
#15: Re: engine warning light Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:51 am ---- Will do
thanks
#16: Re: engine warning light Author: Jubidoo, Location: YorkPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:10 am ---- Message for j4m1e re engine warning light. Not sure if you have solved this, but I recently had similar probably with my 206 and had only had the cat changed some 3 months ago. I took it to kwik fit they put it on diagnostic machine (for no cost) and advised it was coming up as cat problem. So took it back to garage and sure enough the cat was faulty, so they changed it (for no charge as still under warranty) and hey presto light went off. good luck.
My Pegeout 206 is a 2002 plate.
Cheers Jubidoo
#17: Re: engine warning light Author: Jubidoo, Location: YorkPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:14 am ---- Now could anyone help with this problem please. Following my 206 having cat replaced, the rpm display appears to be working backwards!!! I did not notice it at time of picking car up from its little op, but enroute home noticed it, so contacted said garage who advised "oh yes we noticed that and thought it was a bit strange"! Then gave me some reason that "sometimes the needle drops"??? I dont think its illegal to drive with faulty rpm display? And would anyone know how this happened and is it repairable and is it pricey?
Thanks
#18: Re: engine warning light Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:56 am ---- diagnostic test now complete its either ..... CO2 sensor or the Cat the guy said more likely to be the CO2 sensor as the Cat is pretty protected on the pug's Last edited by j4m1e on Thu Mar 10, 2011 11:20 am; edited 1 time in total
