Check Engine Light - 05 Diesel
For those who saw my initial post I knew the car I just bought had an illuminated check engine light, although the car seems to be running perfectly normally.
So I’m waiting for a cable to come so I can check with TOAF what the issue is, or get a T4 session booked, but in the meantime I tried Arctics suggestion of reseating the fuel Filter connector (although I’ve not yet dug my spray out to do it properly) and I thought that did the trick as the light went out and stayed out for a few restarts. It comes back, but after 3 ignition cycles it goes out again, and stays off for a few more restarts. The previous owner stated it had been on for a couple of months and went out for the first time after I first saw the car and checked the fuel filter. I’ve only had it a couple of days, so I’m hoping it is something daft, I’ll update this thread when I know more / get any error codes. |

It maybe a little break in one of the wires to the connector ? try contact cleaner first pushing it on & off a few times, if its going out after you tried then it's pointing to that. 1

Change the filter head Chris, I have known them to fail and throw a light on.

Do you want me to pop over young Mofo?
I'm sure the T4 will still work, despite it's lack of recent use Brian |

Have you sorted all your hk wiring gremlins Chris? That might have a bearing on this.

Not yet, although I do have some parts coming to resolve. I was thinking about this last night - whomever went around stripping off parts certainly did not worry about potential issues so I am going to make good on what has been removed, give it a service, run some decent fuel through it and check the above suggestions.
