RobG Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Mine is on just now. Been told it's something to do with the EGR valve. Still not got it fixed, but it appears to be running fine. Am waiting on my mechanic to get a replacement and get it fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWL Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Last time i had it read was at awsome gti, it came back with the lambda sensor fault twice and 2 other faults, with the injectors having an intermittent fault on cylinders 1 and 3, and thers no way it has a missfire, its not down on power at all, and like i sed above pulls and idles fine, il just have to read it in the morning and take it from ther cheers for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnykell1980 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 i have known those universal none genuine lamba sensors to bring faults back, and genuine ones fix it straight away, not sure if awesome fit them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
