hi all im new here and my partner has a 2004 1.8 hgt. We have had it for 2 years and it has done 46,000 miles. We bourght it with the engine warning light on and last year it went thorugh it MOT with the light as an advisary, but this year im lead to beleive an illuinated light is a fail? when you start it up it says "engine failure switch off engine". We had it put on a diagnostics machine and it said what the previous owner said that the post cat lamda sensor was faulty. He changed it but still couldnt get the light out. So we put another sensor in to make sure the one he had put in wasnt faulty.
We drove it for about 20 mins and the light came back on. the man at the garage said that we should ask on here as it could be the cat itself ( although he seems to think it has 2) ( maybe someone could confirm this ), a stuck egr valve or something else.
So we was wondering if anyone has come across this before and might be able to help as we dont want to go down the blanket replacement route.
also are the cheepo cats on ebay any good as we may have to look into another one
cheers
