This light pops up occasionally on my car, then sometimes just goes off again.
this also happened a years ago, nothing was changed, and it just stopped happening
recently I also have other warning lights for brake pads - which i have had replaced ... but it still pops up - not every time i drive, but often - it also occasionally just goes off again.
and could i have a problem with the warning lamps?
and is the glow plug thing a big issue? i have looked in the book an it isnt very helpful
thanks
Do you notice the engine hesitate or change at all when the light comes on ? Does the rev counter needle drop?
Could be many things, best to have a check-over at a local garage, maybe a fault scan to read any logged faults in the ECU.
On one Golf it was a dirty Lambda sensor, another one was a relay starting to fail.
i have always noticed a sort of engine 'drop' more or less since i have had the vehicle. it will seem as though the whole car has just gone dead for a few seconds, before it picks up and it ok again... usually when i have stopped or are going very slowly and try to speed up again - like waiting to enter roundabouts or coming out of side roads etc.
i tried to find out what that was but couldnt find anything out.
i haven't noticed it get any worse when the light comes on though... but then i wasnt looking for it - i will try to look next time
Right then joko, I'm guessing that 'Engine Workshop' is the engine management light on your car, has Iggle Piggle says you need to get your plugged in ( diagnostic computer ) at a garage to read whatever faults are logged on your engine ECU.
