Engine management light on
Posted: Fri Dec 25, 2020 12:04 am
I picked up my car last Friday, 18th Dec 20 and the very next day the yellow engine management light came on. This was on a brand new car with about 20 miles on clock!
I arranged for car to be looked at and was at garage 2 hours. They reset and reprogrammed everything, saying that should sort problem. It did, for about 8 miles. I had asked for a copy of Self Diagnosis Results and the faults came from “DOWNSTREAM 02S HEATING CIRC 1.DEF, DOWNSTREAM 02 SENSOR 1.DEF & DOWNSTREAM NOX SENSOR 6.DEF”. I have no idea what any of that means, but car is now booked in for a full day and I won’t accept simple resets.
I will update you all on what happens next, as this all has ruined my new car buying experience.
