Hiya ppl....

On my last 2 journeys i have noticed that the check engine light has come on... have stopped, checked things and then restarted and no light.....

everything seems to be fine... only things i have noticed recently is car is peaking slightly lower than normal peak boost... (normally peaks at 1.47bar and now peaks at 1.40bar)..... some smoke when boosting (not blue) which i presume is just from a bit of overfuelling...

do u think i have anything to worry about??? i drove the car this morning a second time and the light did not come on!!!

It sounds like it could be the beginnig of a head gasket. Pressure is building up in the header tank and eventually it will end up blowing the tank (if plastic) or bursting a pipe and chucking out all coolant.

As a safety measure the engine will not boost up properly when the engine check light comes up.

Check under the car and have a look at the gaskets. Check for leaking oil from them etc.

Hopefully this is not the problem though.... just an idea...

yeah my light came on the other week during a drive but never again. A garage wil hook it up to a diagnostics machine and tel u the problem right away. they might charge u for it right enough.
