Ok so my gti 137 has been getting this light very regularly lately and at first it didn't affect performance, now it feels like its misfiring and underpowered when it comes on and I have to plant my foot to get moving, plus it sounds like a tractor when its on!
any advice on what to do and whether or not there is a solution as ive read lots of different things!
cheers!

You will read a million answers, only proper solution is to get it code read. What year is it?

Yes the code is probably still stored. As said best way is to plug it in really and go from there, could end up wasting a whole load of time & money replacing things that are okay otherwise.

See what i mean! Get it code read for the most accurate answer, does sound like coil pack or spark plugs though.

Even a hole in the exhaust after the cat can trigger ANTIPOLLUTION FAULT.
Without reading the fault codes your just p**sing in to the wind.

Had this pop up this morning on the GTi. runs fine (except the lumpy idle for few minutes when completely cold) no loss of power. hoped it would sod off,reset the BSI and it came straight back. Was used last month for a 600mile roundtrip so that would have cleaned out any crud,isnt blowing. will check lambda #2 though as just re-hung the centre exhaust-work as rubber was worn and loose,might have knocked sumat. if not,fault readin time...........just thought i'd join the fun/pain of peugeot life lol
