p900rty Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi. Was driving along today and the emissions check light came on the dash. I was wondering if anyone can tell me why is came on and how to remove it / fix the problem if any? Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuaar Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Probably a lambda sensor or similar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p900rty Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Do you think it's ok to run about in it? Just it's due the 60k service soon ( getting it done early) so can also get it sorted then. Or would you recommend it being fixed sooner rather than later?

joshuaar Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Definitely go and have it scanned just incase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 If it was me I'd try get it scanned asap. Depending on what codes come up it might be fine to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuaar Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 You may be okay with a few small journeys I just mean I wouldn't keep running it for a long period of time with the epc light on. Just get it checked as soon as you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
