2007 Roomster Scout: engine warning light on...

[gingerbeardman]

Did a 200 mile drive yesterday and now the engine shaped warning light under rev dial is on.

 

Manual says this light is "Control system for exhaust" and that the car will be put into a speed limited mode.

 

However, the car is not speed limited at all.

No faults shown on the information display (maxidot).

MFD Vehicle Status says OK.

Any thoughts?

I guess the only real way to find out what the problem is is to get the car scanned and faults read. Have a look on the VCDS map and see if anyone is close to you, most just charge beer tokens.

Will do

I cleared the fault via my cheap Wi-Fi OBD2 adapter and it's not come back. 100 miles so far. 

 

Fingers crossed.

Something to do with exhaust efficiency.

 

Will take a look with VCDS soon.
