Title: Exhaust Gas Warning Lamp
Post by: mb on June 05, 2010, 10:37:48 pm: Hello

The exhaust gas warning lamp came on earlier today as I was driving. Checked the manual and it says could be lambda sensor. Had a quick search on here and not that many posts regarding a similar fault.

I've got VCDS so will do a scan tomorrow (not that I know what I'm looking at ha ha!). Shall I attempt to clear the fault and see if it comes back or take it to VW?

Am I ok to keep driving as the car doesn't feel any different?

Thanks

Post by: mb on June 06, 2010, 03:38:07 pm: Thanks for the replies guys.

I've gone through the process in the link, do I now have to clear the fault codes and see if the error comes back or should it clear itself?

Post by: AlanD on June 06, 2010, 03:39:51 pm: You will need to clear the fault code otherwise it will never go.

:edit: Steve strikes AGAIN !
