what do i need to read the codes and where can i get it from?

i took mine to a local garage, where they had a fault code reader, it cost me £10 for him to plug it in and find the fault code.......you can buy 1 yourself dont think they cost much......................in the link above there is a link to a list of what each code means, mine was the sensor before the cat, i bought 1 off ebay ( there's a link for that in the other thread too ) i then got that fitted and went back to the original garage to get the engine management light turned off using the code reader, he didnt charge me for that

When mine came on I called out RAC, he hooked it up to his computer, told me it was a sensor on the exhaust so he had a look underneath, fiddled about for 10 mins, said he'd cleaned it up a bit, then re-set the warning light & every thing was fine from then on. total cost £0, apart from my RAC membership of course!

Mines doing this also... must actually utilise the 'RAC for this :>

Has anyone else had success with the AA or RAC fixing this problem at the point of breakdown? Mine came on this morning thats all.

I'd be interested to know this too as I might try making some use of my Green Flag if the problem persists!

Hi bud. I got the AA out and they reset the fault. The light has stayed off since, touch wood.

Did they fix it at the roadside?
Thanks for the advice too - might well give that a try

 

[GeorgeL]

No at my address, but I have full cover. They will fix it roadside.

Thanks for the info

 

[GeorgeL]

No worries bud.
