so the spanner through the car icon on the dash is it the service light or fault light ???

how come it stayed on today when my wife was driving and the car felt slow/sluggish....

had it rigged up to my dad's comp tonight and no fault codes recorded and the light came on and went straight off again as i turned the key and started the engine...

anyone got any idea's as i am a bit flummoxed....

could be a range of things from fuel filter needs the water draing to o2 sensor to hole in the intercooler lol

The spanner is the fault light, don't worry unless it keeps comming on and staying on. Also glad to see mine isn't the only one who's car won't store fault codes!

No 3 fuel injector is good for those symptoms and doesn't always generate a fault code mine didn't.

The repair kit is only £12 and then solder it in

Rich what sort of fault code reader are you using? When mine was showing a fault code I borrowed Big Pete's U581 and was able to read it no problems, mine is half canbus though if that makes a difference

had a code reader that didn't connect and a programe on his laptop that when conected gave no fault's found, cant remember for the life of me what the programe is called but i know it comunicated with the car as all the data about the engine etc came up on the screen....
