Just came on out of the blue??
Phoned my dealer and he said switch it off and restart it and it was still on.. I was on my way over to the dealers and I gave it full throttle pulling onto a dual carrigeway and it went off and its been fine since?

Question

Had mine come on and off after I cleaned the wastegate solenoid.
I made sure the connections were on firmly and that I had blown all cleaner out of pipes and have not had a problem since.

Mine comes on every so often, and stays on till I dab the throttle. Lancaster of Sevenoaks said not worry they will look at it on my next service.

Exclamation

If it happens again, the dealer can plug in a Select Monitor and tell what the error is straight away.

With the problems you've been having, I've sure the dealer could spare 5 minutes to check it out for you!!

Had it come on on mine, it was the knock sensor, you know if its this cos generally at low engine speed 1500ish try to accelerate gently and thers nothing there you have to blip the throttle and slip the clutch, reminded me of my 2 stroke days! Code on the memory was 22 by the way.
