Gas warning lamp
no golf clubs at all:
Today an exhaust gas warning lamp lit up.
Never had any issues at all.
I read it could be the lambda sensor.... Is this a biggie?
I'm out of warranty.
Quick trip to my local Indy tomorrow for me then.... :sad1:
I guess at least its a hard fault, so they should be able to diagnose the issue quickly.
someone mentioned in a previous post that they had a fuse go related to one of the fans and that fixed it....would anyone know the potential fuse? are these fuses in the engine bay or in the car?

Don't suppose you have access to VCDS to do a scan? In any case, changing the sensor should be easy and painless.

Nope not got any diagnostic tools :-( I'll just head to my local Indy tomorrow can't bear the ritual fleecing by the main stealer. Also more chance of the smallest part being fixed...rather than the 18 year old trainee trying to fix it by changing the ecu or the coilpacks...
Wish me luck, by the lack of responses here and elsewhere.... I'm more than a little nervous...

Ok a quick trip to the indy, he hooked up vcds and noticed an alarm code there. Incorrect air mix or something or other....anyhoo.....apparently it can happen for a number of other issues..
He noted the fault, and cleared the condition. We will monitor and book in, the tech reckons whatever it is that it should be a simple fix and not expensive.
Deffo nothing to do with the fans.
I did notice that my air intake top cover was slightly off...wonder if this had something to do with it. We snapped it back on, though I am not sure if it will stay there.... Will keep ya all posted just in case the same ever happens to you.
bacillus:
I doubt that the loose intake would be the cause but you never know...
