Hi,

I have recently purchased a 03 Fabia 1.416v. The car seems to run well but the engine warning light stays on.

I looked through the paper work and the car has had it's Map Sensor replaced and a new EGR valve in the last year.

I guess the last owner tried to rid the car of it's light but it hasn't worked.

It looks like it was taken to a main dealer to scan. Again they haven't solved the problem.

Should I take it to be scanned or live with it if the car seems to be fine?

Exactly same thing with the Fabia I had, the previouse owner ditched it because of re-occuring engine warning lights.

I got fed up with "Living with it" so got rid of the car.

Which engine code has that car got?

I haven't had a scan on the car so not sure what code came up.

You don't need to scan the car to find that out (not sure if a scan will reveal that - forgotten!), just look at the sticker in the boot wheel well, service record, or on the engine cam belt cover - you are looking for the BIG three letter code - the engine and trans are the two big letter codes, engine could be BBY or BBZ or ???

Hi,

Just had a look at the engine code it is BBZ.

buy a cheap code reader off ebay and plug it in the compartment where the steering wheel is and find out whats making the light come on

Deets, would you mind telling me the p/n of the replacement MAP sensor that was fitted as it has been said that that part has been redesigned - so would get a slightly different p/n. I've cleaned might up and fitted an older than original secondhand one, but looking on the Magneti Marelli website, I can't see any referance to newer designs being made.
