exhaust emissions light keeps coming on
« on: 12 March 2013, 11:21:30 »
Hi guys..  My exhaust emissions light (the orange engine shape light) has come on & stayed on 3 times in the past month on my 2.2 CD.  First time diagnosed as faulty lambda sensor & replaced. A day later it came on again & diagnosed as faulty EGR valve & Rocker head gasket.  That was last Thursday.  Now it has just come on again!  Have spent £600 now on this this month. Garage have offered to take car straight back in & do a free diagnostic to see what is coming up now but could something be causing these knock on failures? :(

Did they replace both lambda sensors or just one.....as stated...greedy garage.....have you asked the lads on here if you live near them if they could take a look.At least you will get an honest opinion which will not cost you £600..Dick Turpin was hanged for highway robbery is this garage related to him . :o :o :o

Cheers.  Yep, able to stop by any time (week night or weekend) if you have a moment. Much appreciated. Let me know when's best. I did take it in to the garage for the free diagnostic (think they were worrying a bit at not having resolved) & they said it had 'sooted over' and they cleared it and the warning light cleared.  That was last Friday and guess what? It's come back on again today!  They also said before that it might possibly be a faulty CPU. I still have my 2.5 V6 waiting to be scrapped but doubt any of the parts would be of use as this one is an ordinary 2.2?  :'(
