Ok the pain in the butt was towed off to a garage yesterday as we just couldnt do anything and hubby has to be careful as he is still recovering from heart attack and surgery earlier this year nothing to strenuous etc so they took it away and then idiot who owns it rang them later in the day couldnt get no sense didnt understand a word they told him so hubby rang them they said it needed all new plugs and leads (hmmm ) so he goes outside gets 4 new plugs and leads takes them up to them lol. watches whilst they put them on as well the car is now running so we are bringing it back to the house today all it needs according to the machine is a camshaft sensor and a lambda sensor which amazingly has broke off right at the end of the wire where it goes into the cat. So we are sorting the leads out for him as hubby can fit them no probs what he wants to know is after putting the leads on should the eml light go out on its own or will it need something doing to make it go out and recognize that the faults have been sorted, Only the bloke at the garage said it would need programming we are not sure if he is just trying to scam more money or not and thought we would ask you guys.Thanks in advance.

Once the problems associated with the fault has been cleared, then imhe the light will go out after successfully starting and running without fault.

I would suggest that if possible try to get the lead to the lambda sensor, some times called oxygen sensor, reconnected. With the Camshaft sensor, once a new or replacement is fitted, then fault light should disappear.

Not heard of it having to be reprogrammed to get the light to go out.

Shouldnt need any sort of reprogramming
