Motor-management

Hi,

Since yesterday the engine-management lamp on the dashboard of my 406
2.0 HDI 90 HP does no go off after starting the engine.
The enigine however is running smoothly.
What is the best thing to do ??

Take the car to a dealer as soon as possible and get them to plug their
diagnostics into it, which will produce a readout of the part at fault. I
have had a tremendous amount of trouble with my 306 HDi and the
engine-management lamp coming on, same problem as yourself, generally no
performance problems.

 

Umm sorry but I ASKED once for the readout cos they had my car about 5
times for the same darn thing. They said that it doesnt tell them
exactly what the problem is, moreover it tells them a fault code which
gives an indication of what the problem is. Oh, and if your car is
under 5 years old then it will probably cost you about £50.

You dont always get performance problems but after a period of time
you get one large sod off problem as a result. Talking from
experience here!

Im not saying dont take it to a pug dealer, but be aware that its not
cheap and that they wont always be able to trace the fault first time
which means more than one trip and a hole in your wallet!
