tcs + engine light beeping four times

Featured Replies

I was driving today for maybe 40 min and there was like 15 celsius heat outside

, then when I was parking the car  suddenly I felt the engine started to shake/wibe 

then the tcs (traction control) light came on and then engine light started to blink and then a beep four times with the "emissions workshop!" blinking also.

 

The only thing I did yesterday was add 1,5liters of oil to it, cause the oil scale showed it needed more oil.  Well the oil on it is 5w30 longlife

but I put a 1,5 liters of 10w40 semi-synthetic oil on it. And I drove like all yesterday after that without any warning lights.

 

And also my wife was driving pretty fast/hard cause she was late on a meeting 40 min before this happened .

 

Do you guys have any suggestions?

You've posted in the MkII forum, hopefully a mod can move it to the MkI forum for you...

What engine does it have and will it run now?  If so is it running on all cylinders?
