Emissions light staying on

jibm · 21-06-2011, 01:40 PM

Afternoon all

My emissions light has been coming on for the past few weeks and is now staying on all the time, so i have to put it into the stealers next week for a diagnostic check.

I have done a quick search on here but that shows up all sorts of issues from new vanos to coils

As far as i am aware its the lambda/oxygen sensors or the cats perhaps?

I would be grateful for some input from anyone who knows what else it could be, before i get arse raped by BM.

Also does anyone know of a good specialist surrey way that might be able to help?

many thanks

They normally come on when you have a/m cats and SS exhaust.

Best to just ignore it!

On my old Csl with race cats the light never came on once, but it has for my mate( the new owner)

Is it maybe due to being driven daily?
Mine was a weekend track toy, whereas my mate uses his daily?

It's strange how some do some don't.

Hi,

The issue is going to be a right f*****g pain.

As from 1st Jan 2012 any engine/ warning lights
on in the dash will be a fail.

So I am guessing Bulb out ? or some type of
breaker to the bulb live, so it can switched
off ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.

nail it and the light won't come on, drive like miss daisy/Rob and it will be on after 50 miles

With 100cell cats mine never came on but bas soon as I added the SS box it came on occasionally and now with centre section it is on a lot, but every now nd then it goes off

I borrowed the wifes car to tow an mx5 to Oulton and the wife took the kids out in my car and when I put it away in the garage the next day IT WAS OFF......Bloody miracle
