    Default loss of power

    I have 19 cdti 06 reg (120hp) I was on the moor way the other day when I lost power the service light and engine management light came on I got off the motorway at 5mph. I switched off the engine and turned on the egnision the 2 lights stayed on ,then I startred the car and was I didnt have any warning lights on the dash. I got a friend to check out the faults and reset the cars computer.

    Ive been back to him several times and hes computer tells diffrent faults. now the engine management lights on all the time. any ideas

    Would be grateful

    Do you mean the emmisions light and ecu light?

    Several people mistake the car/spanner light for a service light when it's actually the engine electronics, immobiliser and autobox fault light.

    The car/spanner light is as I previously mentioned.
    The light with the pic of the engine is the emissions fault light.
