It means the car is overdue a service. Don't you service it?

[rock007]

Ha Ha .Once I service it would the inspection light go away. That what I meant.

[mmm-five]

The light doesn't go off by itself, it is reset by a 'tool' at whatever garage does the service (the 'tool' can be anything from a paperclip to a huge supercomputer - depending on the garage).

If you're doing the service yourself, then you will need to use the 'tool' yourself to reset it.

Did you actually service the car or simple reset the service indicator ?

[rock007]

I serviced the car . Changed oil, oil filter, air filter and plugs.and put on diags. and reset service lights. But still bit juices when running,.

Would changing the engine breather make a differance .If so any suggestion on how to change this?
