and yes i need fuel...... lol

 

[kaz_quiksilver]

to do with emissions ....this light came on in mine when my lambda sensor failed

 

[markamus182]

so is it just a lambda that needs replacing? was ur on constantly? mine is ...............

 

[kaz_quiksilver]

yeh it was ....might be best to get a fault code reader thingy on it, if you know someone thats got one to hand , as im not sure what other causes there could be, thats what i did and it told me it was the second lambda sensor , about a week after replacing the light went off

 

[markamus182]

ok cool, na not got a fault reader and dont know any1 with one!
wel i will have a look underneath tomo but hard when working 10 hours tomoz
there must be more than just me n u with this problem lol

 

[kaz_quiksilver]

Thats a bummer !!! but nah the o2 sensor is a common thing to go so most probably that.....dont think there is no way of telling by looking at it though lol

 

[markamus182]

great just what i wanted hear lol, thanks for the info tho matey gives me a guide line

 

[jenic]

Could be loads of different things, needs the codes reading!

 

[MartinR]

loads of things......

Pre cat 02 sensor
post cat 02 sensor
plugs
ht leads
coil pack
shagged cat
potato in the exhaust

^^Thats just a few as Jenic said the code needs reading to help pinpoint the problem

 

[markamus182]

not what i wanted to hear but thanks pal.

 

[MartinR]

not what i wanted to hear but thanks pal.

Don't worry mate 9 times out of 10 its a cheap easy fix.

Find someone with a code reader or rstuner to read the code for you, steer clear of dealerships as you shall be robbed of your hard earned pennies just to plug it in and see what the problem is.

mine used to come on alot turned out to be the plugs needed changing. hasn't come on since.

 

[markamus182]

well got miltek system with de-cat and hope its not a potato lol

 

[jenic]

well got miltek system with de-cat and hope its not a potato lol

That'll probably be why then, light usually comes on with a decat because of the emissions.

 

[MartinR]

well got miltek system with de-cat and hope its not a potato lol

^^^^theres your answer!! Decat

 

[markamus182]

cheers rockers! thats helped loads! got a local garage thats got a awesome onwer v fair! ill take it to him !

 

[markamus182]

ok....................... but had the system on for about a month now?

 

[MartinR]

sometimes decats will not make the EML come on and other times the EML is constanly on. Best thing to do is get the code read and go from there but i 99% reckon its caused by the decat

 

[James105]

As above when I had my miltek decat on, the light came on after a couple of weeks. I cleared the code, and it hasn't come back on again lately.

cheers guys & member on here jack_davis has said i can go around his for a code/diagnosis reading (really grateful). so thanks all
