Welcome here.

Not much to work with on this. Try looking for poor grounds. Especially near the mounting of the computer, and around the battery. Check ALL fuses for continuity.

Was there any service, or repairs done recently that might have left something loose?

What has changed since the car was correct?

Lastly, what mileage is on the car? some vehicles have mileage warrantys that might still be in effect for emission controles. Another thought is that some emission systems need checking, or resetting at certain milages. If your car has passed that mileage, there will be a service reminder light that will direct you fack to the dealer $ervice department. Good luck.

We had the same car with 75000 miles and the same light came on. It turns out that the antipollution fluid - urea - which is cyclically added to the exhaust to clear the soot from the catalytic convertor, runs out - the fluid tank is under the floor below the rear left seat. When this runs out you have to top it up - using the special pumps and hose in the £40 kit, but then the light will still not go out, so you have to take it to a dealer to haveit connected to their computer to be reset - another £45.

On the other hand, your car is much lower miles - if you have had it from new - and could just be one of the frequent sensor failures which occur on HDi engines.

Good luck

Thanks for the reply. I remember that thread. Is it possible to determine the fluid level without sending one of the dealer's children to collage?
