[audrey]

Hi Guys hope you can help as it says above my engine light is on.Went on a while back and the guy in the garage said it was the o2 sensor.Well the 2 sensors have now been replaced and the light has come back on.Anyone know what this could be fed up going back and forward with this and getting nowhere.Hope you can help.Thanks in advance x

What guy in what garage? a main dealer would be able to rectify the problem by plugging in the code tool

yeah what he said ^^^

if they plug it in, they can normally work out what the problem is with the code machine. If both sensors have been replaced, it could be another faulty sensor, but to be honest, it's all guess work without the machine talking to your ECU.

It was plugged into the code machine when light first came on and it came up the o2 sensors.Got these replaced and the light went out was plugged back into the machine and no further faults were showing.Light stayed off for couple of days then came back on.

Audrey, my sensor light's been on for over a YEAR now! Had it checked out a while back and all emissions etc were within OK limits, and it's passed an M.O.T. too. I reckoned it was because I'm running a non-standard Manifold etc, but maybe the sensors are just rubbish. I've heard of this problem on other makes as well (SEAT etc). My car's running extremely well these days, so after I made sure I wasn't damaging anything (including the environment), I've learned to ignore it. While my car was under warranty, I was in and out of the Dealer a couple of times with this problem like yourself, and they cleaned or changed the sensor/s, but the light came back on again a while later.

These days I stick my wee Jimi Hendrix badge over it if the light's annoying me... very high-tech, you need just the right amount of Blu-Tack. If you're still 'Warrantied', you should probably pursue the Dealer for a solution, as it won't cost you - apart from the hassle of going back again.... and again....
