Sorry, no idea where you are (update your profile ;)), hoping someone nearby can reset trims, then watch if they drift again.  Also, monitor lamda.

OK  .. been a change of plan on domestic front ..... :(

I have a meeting tomorrow night (wednesday) so will be leaving the house at 1830. That gives you a "window" of 1700 (ish) -1830 where I can reset the EML.  As we are now leaving for Scotland early Thursday morning, you can then monitor it for a week until I get back next Tuesday when we can recheck the codes and do some limited live data checking.

or just wait until next week ... obviously if someone else can help in the meantime go for it ... :)

You have the number, just give me  a ring if you intend to try and get to Wootty B tomorrow and I'll give you the address :)

I dont get home from work until usually around 18.30 so wont make it but i am off work all of next week.

Not sure my mate will be able to help with his spanners as its obviously more technical than I expected  I cant tell the difference between a spanner and a pair of socks so shows what help i am

Answered by PM ... however just to ensure the info I have given is not "wrong" I ask "those who know better" to comment on this.....  what I wrote......  :)

Fuel trim being "wrong" should not, in itself, cause any major problems if the car is not misfiring .. if its misfiring as well as then you could do some damage to engine and or cats. I could be wrong though so ask in the forum .....

My concern would always be that the light being on will "hide" any other faults... which could be more serious.

Ahh, right... Was on my phone :-[ :-[

Anyway. That code may stay away, may come back. Either way nothing to worry too much about. Only real solution is to move the front lambda sensors ;)

There is a theory between a couple of us that if you drive in a more spirited fashion the codes don't seem to appear, but not confirmed/guaranteed ;)
