is this warning light serious?

[jogo78]

A light came on in my dash this morning, I've looked in the manual and it appears to be the excess pollution/diagnostic light (although in the manual it has a lightning bolt going into it but on my dash it doesn't)... is this something that I can can change myself or do I need to get it sorted out at a garage? Not sure if it is a coincidence or not but my window washer fluid light came on a day or so before.

Mainly i just want reassurance that nothing is majorly wrong with the engine and that its safe to drive until I get it MOT'd in a week or two.

Thanks in advance for any help..

Its the engine warning light thats on, get it plugged into vagcom to check for faults. Could be anything.

Is it the same as in this pic?

If so it's the same light and as above get it vag-com'd.

Hey, thanks for replies.. yes that's the light on the right hand side..
I've got it booked in to be checked out as its worrying me quite a bit.

I had this around a month ago, was just a faulty sensor module =]

Got my Leon back on Monday.. apparently it was a temperature sensor that had gone.
I had two weeks driving my folks Fiat Stilo and and am so glad to have my car back all
working fine.. it was like driving a taxi and the ride was so bouncy.

Are you saying it took them two weeks?

 

[jogo78]

No, it was already booked in for an MOT on Monday with the guy who usually sorts my cars out so I got him to check it over while he had it. The only problem was that the light came on 2 weeks before that so I just borrowed my folks car in the meantime.
