Hi, Just driving home from work tonight and the exhaust emission warning lamp came on. Is it advisable to get it to vw stright away or could the aa be able to sort it out cos i dont know whether it is safe to drive or not. It seems to be running fine, a little jumpy at idle but nothing major. Any ideas I would be very grateful, im worried that this is gonna cost me a fortune!![:^(]
Have the fault codes read either by your dealer or a good independant garage, using Vag-Com or the equivelent.
hi, how did your car go? I have just had the same problem everything seems to be running fine bar the lumpy feeling when idle. I have got a friend looking at mine tomorrow. I also have a rattle which sounds like it is from the exhaust so am worried that i might need a new CAT, not good [:^(] any one else with info about this please spread the wealth>>>>
took it to vw and they fitted a new sensor in the exhaust???? im not poo hot on engines. paid them 190 and the light went off however i also have the lumpy idle? What turned out to be the fault on yours tim?
owch! 190 for what would have been a lambda sensor... (2nd one at that, post cat) "stealers" well named
The light ended up going out by its self, still feels lumpy from time to time. my mate resetted the connection a cople of times and the light went out but returned. I have ended kind off ignoring the problem at the moment due to a service 2 months ago which cost 600 pounds. will keep updating though
Yep loads of lambda sensors are starting to fail. They do cost 90/100 plus the labour to fit. Some can be a bit of a fiddle to fit especialy on RS4s S4s etc.
