Engine Management light

[blackturbo]

Whilst out driving today my engine management light has decided to come on

Now without Vag Com obviously it is much harder to diagnose a fault but i need to use the car everyday and its booked in for a service at Seat on Thursday anyways, but i thought I would put a post up to see if i can get some info.

The car appears to be running fine, tickover is smooth, performance appears to be fine and no untoward noises or smells comin from under the bonnet, so my question is, is there anything sensors etc that could have failed which would cause the light to come on but not cause and obvious issue with the running of the car??

I know its a long shot but worth asking!

id put £2 on it being the secondary air injection system if the car is running as normal

 

[blackturbo]

Just worried coz ive gota drive the car for a week without knowing what damage im doing!

 

[chris999]

could be a wide range of things really! just dont abuse it until you diagnose the problem!

 

[blackturbo]

Ive managed to bring my service forward to tomorrow so hopefully all will be revealed, I REALLY hope its not something expensive!

yea i realy think that it will be the (s.a.i) as said

i used to get i loads m8, i just changed all of my vac hose n did the n249 bypass,,,,

havent had any more lights

 

[acidstrato]

again SAI

i get it occasionally and many others do so if theres nothing wrong with performance that would be my guess

but you never know what it is unless its scanned and confirmed, could be absolutely anything really

 

[blackturbo]

Well as I say its going in to Seat tomo for a service and a check up so I will know soon enough!

i find seat as much good chocolate fire guard

 

[acidstrato]

yeah would have rather begged someone with vagcom off here to meet up

any muppet can read fault codes but Seat seem to be in a league of there own (plus they'll prob charge you a good few quid for labour)

 

[blackturbo]

Well there is no one near me with Vag Com and ive used these guys before (Camberley Service Centre) and they havent done me wrong as yet

[Chaz]

[blackturbo]

Well keep an eye out for Silver Biza Cupra being ragged up and down past Watchmoor im sure they do it!

 

[Chaz]

nah,, I think they are pretty good there. I have always taken not of my trip computer (miles and mpg) and I have had nothing to complain about

 

[blackturbo]

Well last time they did 7 miles in my old Cupra, but they did have to do a few bits so I guess it was being checked, its not so much how many miles they do its how fast they do them lol!

But ive not had anything to grumble about as yet, fingers crossed I dont get a mahoosive bill tomo!
