The Raven Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 OK driving back on the motor way today my engine light and the (!) came on. Pulled into the nearest lay by, changed underwear and checked over the engine. Got back in turned her on and all was well for the ten miles i was traveling. Then i drove home about 2 miles in blink up it pops again. As quick as it was there it went again. i then drove another 6 miles not further problesm Had a air filter change yesterday, and i think my plugs could do with a change. Any ideas im bricking it.

Tricky-Ricky Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Check your brake fluid level, needs to be well above the max mark on some cars, otherwise the check engine light comes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Just had a look, It needs topping up, its bellow the min. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkTheBoy Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Have a look at the guide on error codes and how to check them. My moneys on Error code 42 (speed sensor) Do you have cruise control or an active front spoiler? If so they will stop working when the warning shows if it is code 42. Mine has had the same problem and I chased the brake fluid solution and it didn't solve it. On a side note if it is error code 42 and your car hasn't been delimited, the error code acts as a temporary "delimiter" *ahem* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkTheBoy Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Showing 41, and 42, No sure if they are old problems , take the battery off to reset the ecu right? they find the fault again? Yeah, reset the ecu then trigger the fault again and recheck the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
