Hi all. The EML has come on, amber colour. Any way for me to determine what this may be? There doesn't appear to be any visible problem. I read something about the diesel particulate filter. Could this be the likely cause? And is it something I can look at myself? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Do you have a code reader? I got a cheap one from Aldi/Lidl

Is there a loss in performance? Most complaints here as regards EML are within the Diesel exhaust system...DPF and allied sensors/pipework...exhaust gas pressure problems the ECU calculates that the system is blocked usually. An error code(s) exist I expect.

No noticeable performance loss.

I have an error code reader coming today so will report back later.

Ok so update. Faults below. Appears to be related to the O2 sensor? I was able to clear them, but no doubt it will return so need to get it sorted. Any clues please? Thanks in advance.

Good for you to know sort of what the problem is - I haven't a clue so I'll let others jump in!

Yes...clearing them is right. See what turns up next time? The following post goes into the same problem:
