Morning All,
so, due to WFH, a new baby, and a new Prius plus as the main family set of wheels, my Subaru Legacy (2.0i petrol 2013 model), has been garaged more or less all the time since March. (Ive only driven about 100km in it in that period).
Anyway yesterday morning I wheeled it out to run an errand and the dash lit up like xmas morning, engine management light, ABS and another light which im not sure about lit up and wouldnt turn off and the cruise control logo kept flashing. Luckily the garage that sold it to me was on the way back from where i was going. They took a look at it and reset it and all was well. They said it was an exhaust gas sensor for the environment and that if i get the same problem again it will be a new sensor for 200 quid.
My question is this:
is the sensor failing down to a lack of use??
can i expect more at this age??
