Engine Management Light

[Davidsw 4]

Evening gents

 

Does anyone have a list of items that would make the engine managent light come on on a 1.9 gti L reg with cat .

 

Thanks

Much easier to read the code, either by a Diag machine or you can read it by the EML flashing which I think you may find a how to guide on here

Not many things really. Erroneous reading from air flow meter, lambda sensor, purge valve, temperature sensor or crank sensor, I think that's it. But you're guessing until you have read the fault code, which will pin it down. Like Miles says you need a code reader (TAD99 or TAD4-99 - it predates the OBD standard so those readers don't work) though there is a method of getting the dash light to flash the codes out.

there's no temp sender in the sad, just a heater element
