RobJE Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi Guys. Driving to work this morning noticed engine symbol lit up. car drives ok. I've turned car on and off a few times but light stays on. car has had a very recent full service. Is this symbol to do with emissions or does it flag up other issues. Is it risky to drive it with this on. obviously I am going to get it checked . If anyone has had any similar issues I would be interested with your views. I think this symbol is a On Board Diagnostic symbol but not sure exactly what it is saying is wrong. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Check engine light covers huge range of engine related sensors, exhaust, ignition etc . Ideally want get a scan tool on it to read the codes, would be worth you either buying a basic obd2 scantool or using the freessm software and a obd2 vag cable off eBay or if have android phone use torque app & a Bluetooth obd2 mudule. All is cheap and worth learning , quite bit info on here in some threads if search about . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEVONFOZ Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'd be guessing one of the O2 sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
