Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: dashboard light

« on: 21 March 2010, 19:04:22 »

Hi Squid, there are two orange warning lights on the Facelift dash. The first shows a car symbol with a spanner through it and this warns of a fault in the cars electronics. The second shows a car engine outline; This is the EML or  Engine Emissions Light, and warns that the car has a fault that effects the  exhaust emissions.  Which one do you have showing? Can you give us a bit more on the way it is running, any loss of power, poor starting/idling etc? 

hi there my car is a 2.6 and it doesnt seem to be running any differant to how its been running ive only had the car a week thanks for any advice sorry forget to say that the light is the one that looks like an engine thanks
