Default Check Engine light.

hey all

lastnight when leaving the pub... going up hill, driving 30mph... in 3rd/4th gear i changed gear into 4th.... and my "check engine" light come on... nothing seemed wrong with the car and was drivable no noises or anything....

i slowed down and pulled over... stopped for a few mins to see if it would go out... didnt...

we got to our destination and let the car run for further 5 minutes and didnt go off... turned car off and went away for 2 hours.... come back, started car.. and it stayed off. and didnt come on at all through the next journey..

any ideas?

only recently put a MRT twin trumpet VTA BOV on the car... and a new TD04 turbo... as my other turbo went.

Cheers
James

I had the same problem on high speed test runs - I had CEL come on - but goes off after engine restart.

diagnostic check indicated oxygen sensor.
