Title: Exhaust gas light solid yellow !
Post by: gobbleplease on January 05, 2013, 12:59:35 pm

Hi my exhaust gas light came on today after I made a brief stop at the shop, the fact it's went on after a brief 5 minute stop makes me think nothing is actually wrong,
Can anyone confirm that the light will go off its self if there is nothing wrong or does it need to be reset via vcds, it's solid yellow but it has been on for a couple of days now with out going off.
My car is revo stage 2 + with a 200 Cell cat

Cheers !

I had to reset mine as it did the same. On VCDS it read the fault as emissions UNDER threshold! Not bad that for a 200 cell cat! :happy2: if it is this check with Revo as they can map it out.

Cheers mate, I thought revo mapped it out as standard ?
That's why i was a bit shocked when it came on.

Some maps they did Mao it out and others they hadn't, I had it on my car, and this is how I find out
