Emissions engine light
« on: 01 December 2018, 09:43:33 »

Could anyone give me some advice on what is causing the engine light to come on when I hit sport mode on my auto box and it also comes on when I accelerate hard the engunethen feels a bit lumpy. If I stop turn off remove the key and then restart the car is back to normal.
If I accelerate gently the light doesn't come on.
Hope someone can help.

I just take the bulb out, then replace it and clear the code 10 minutes before the MOT.  :)
I may get around to moving the lamdas or fitting 3 litre cats at some point...……….or I may not.  ::) ;D

The symptoms don't match, so that's why I wanted the codes ;)

Indeed. This is something different, I suspect.
