2.2dti spanner light at idling?

[bigben]

Right recently the spanner light of doom has been coming on as soon as i turn the ignition on. I can get it to go away by turning the car off and starting it quickly again, however as soon as i let the revs hit tickover its back on and back into limp mode GRRRR!! The car drives as it allways hea if the revs are kept over about 1000rpm.

Anyone got any ideas? thanks.

Best bet would be to get code read,sure there's some one around Brum that would do it for you

[bigben]

yea theres loads but just wondering if theres any checks that i can do before shelling out money that i no longer have for the use of a tech 2 for 5mins lol

[bigmac]

I'm sure if you drove to some one near by they wouldn't charge you

[bigben]

lets hope so as its really annoying pulling up to lights trying to keep that chuffin thing out of limp mode. A bus beat me off the line yesterday and i nearly cried lol. All boost pipes and vaccum pipes look sound.

[bigben]

maybe its just me then?

[bigmac]

Maybe you should ask if anyone can help with a code reader in Birmingham area and tell them you willing to travel a few miles tell them where you are else no one will know
