    Default Limp mode, Emmision light on

    Hello there, car trouble

    Emmision light has come on and car stuck in limp mode.

    Booked in for tech2 tomo, i have a feeling its the lambarda sensor
    got a quote from penfolds, £150-250 depending on which sensor and £50 for fitting. Is that a fair price ?

    Cheers,

    Never heard of a lambarda sensor, best to get the fault codes read and go from there.

    Have you tried blinking out any codes yourself and hence saving you diagnostic time and money?
