Engine Management light .. Should I be worried?



Gem

Just a quick question, the damn engine management light has come on my car again so she's booked into the Renault garage this weekend.

My question is this: will she be safe? :eek:

The cov branch are pretty passable. Should be fine if the burton lot are the same.

Yep, place is a bit small but id prefer them to the lot on sir frank whittle in Derby (at least untill 90% of their staff changed last year)

For something like an engine management light I don't know of any other garage I would want to take it to...apart from Birchdown. And thats too far for me this weekend as I'm working.

Cheers Wolfy :)


And no, I won't be charged. Not as this is the 3rd time in almost as many weeks it's appeared....:(

be prepared tho....they charge you 80 quid even before they touch the car..for the ''pre diagnostic'' check!

Burton is a safer bet than Derby, they aint got 1 qualified technicain anymore i dont think.

Derby Renault suck bigtime, countless times they have tried to rip me off and fook up my cars, to the point i had to go in 5/6 times a week to get it sorted myself.

Got to the point where i could see several salesman/women hiding in offices so they didnt have to talk to me.

Probably one of my greatest achievements to be honest, love winding them up!

Are you a member of the RAC AA, if so get them to come out and do a diagnostic, they may be reluctant to do so and may sugest you take it into a dealer. Insist they come out. Had the same problem myself and phoned the RAC, diagnosed fault which was the knock sensor, they cleared fault code. If you can DIY then it will save on a diagnostic and expensive Renault labour charges.
