Gents, the Exhaust System fault light has come on on the dash. I've checked all brake and tale lights and they are working. After searching on here that is what I presumed it would be but alas it wasn't that easy. Any other ideas?

Its in at Volkservice in Blackpool today for a cambelt (£200) so they are gonna stick it on the machine http://www.volkservice.com/

Car went into Volkservice in Blackpool today for a cambelt and I got them to check this out on the diagnostics machine (Ross-Tech), turned out it was a 17068 Glow Plug Control Module fault... they reset it and it seems fine now...

Hi guys I came across this fantastic forum as I have the same problem with my lovely 06 vRS. My concern is that I'm not going to get a chance to get it into a garage before monday but I need to drive it to work. It's only a 20 min drive but I am concerned whether I would be doing it any damage!

The car runs fine apart from this light.... and being a girly, I'm a bit clueless about this sort of thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you lovely people!

For what it's worth, I ran with mine on for a few months and I couldn't be bothered to get it looked at. I'd imagine it should be ok to drive though - if it were mine I would, unless I could here any bad noises or anything.

Turned out the ERG valve was clogged up, and giving bad readings which the car didn't like.

Thanks for such a quick response!

I did think that it might be ok, so long as I didn't thrash it out on the M4!
