Having a lot of occurrences of this now. (10+ per day)

Do many other cars suffer with this and how often do you see the warning.

The car`s been interrogated and has no record of an event.

I don`t think its an engine problen as all seems well but if it is a software glitch can it be cured, its now starting to drive me mad.

Have you checked it?

I checked mine once - it was definitely an engine.


So that was nice.

have you got access to anyone with efilive to check the engine codes? If you've had the o2s moved there is a good chance its just cold switching - thankfully I'm about to disable the o2s all together

The opinion is its the o2 sensors so I`ll get it looked at (Thanks for that Monkfish)

I find I get this message if I've been sitting in traffic and the engine gets extremely warm and stop. If I fire it up while still hot I get the same message. I wonder if it is heat soak some of the electrical components which results in a fault being displayed.

It was quite disconcerting the first time but now I just ignore it.

i got that after a few runs up the strip

seriously the efilive scan or tune version is more than a fun tool, its handy to have so you can do your own diags
