:1zhelp:

This orange warning came on yesterday, just after pulling off.
The car drives normally, with no loss of power.
Had a browse through this forum, and it mainly seems to be EGR or coolant sensor.
Is it best to get it read first?
Is there anyone in the Nottingham area with a reader could help us out with this for beer money? Feeling really skint after Christmas, so could do without a huge spend on the car, especially after taxing it yesterday!
Thank you

Lynn

Thank you grhdylan for your very kind offer, but unfortunately that would be a long way to travel, we are over to the east of Nottingham.
Thanks again

Update..... Tried to get the egr off to get it cleaned, but didnt have a long enough allen key to get the bottom bolt out!! :zx11:(remember this is an automatic!! slightly different to a manual) so spray-cleaned what i could get at. so just about to set off to buy a long allen key, when i noticed the warning light had gone out!! :confused: so i think i am in the right area. going to get that long allen key and do a proper clean, might even blank it off. Can an automatic be blanked off?
