Not had a bad run so far. Think yours must be one of the last 3.2 not to have had it.

Before moving the sensors my light would come back on within hours of it being reset.was a real Pain

yes, i've been thinking of getting a reader, trouble is i'll want something that does live data, and she has a polo, and is likely to want a golf next. Am i likely to get something that does mine and vag as well?

Although i do have vag.com, or whatever its called, on the lap top that has a com port, just need a lead to read the polo.

Chris once I've got my "My Naff Code Reader" sorted I'll be selling my Sealey reader. It reads and clears any OBD2 car and does limited live data as well.

These codes do seem to lurk without putting the light on sometimes. Maybe it was only a brief error condition not sustained for long enough to light the EML?

You are welcome to borrow my ELM327 cable if you want to have a play with it? Does engine codes and live data on OBDII engines and there's a variety of software that will support an ELM327 cable.

Thanks Kev, interesting, worth a look. :y

I only did the pedal trick after resetting the lpg to 1.1 bar and calibrating at that pressure. Wondered if it might have upset it. Should have pedal tricked before calibration, and again after.

0420 seems to be quite common fault nowadays, even with other brands. We've got a -00 model Primera which has generated this also, now both our cars have 0420 occasionally...  :D

Also anyone used the Sealey TA120 current tester? Is it a good unit for Omega 3.2?
