Yellow engine light - anyone
Morning –
A yellow engine light appeared whilst I was driving into work. When I started the car this morning and drove to the petrol station there was no sign of it. 10 minutes later whilst driving after filling up with V-max the light appeared. I never put my foot down so I can’t see any “driver” reason for this to appear. The engine never changed pitch or lost any performance.
Initially I thought there was a glitch so I restarted the car but the light was still present. 2002 STI. I’m praying this isn’t a huge issue can anyone shed some light or advice on the next course of action.. ta.

I'm based in Uxbrigde so have have ToTd and Power Engineering close by.
I was at TOTD last week for a complete tranny, diff and engine oil change along with a dyno for a health check and all came back well with a good bill of health.
I do recall no tighting the petrol cap fully this morning (till the clicks) I went out and clicked it up. But if the light needs resetting I guess I need the pro's.

Dont want to make you shiver but mine came on once and it showed a misfire on cylinder 4 on the diagnostics. I ruled out every possible option but it ended up engine out as it had a burnt valve costing me £1500 car had only done 50k so I hope its not that, fingers x'd for ya pal!

Quick update - After checking the car over there was sign of anything wrong. The ECU was reset and all is fine.. the catalyst detected a blip but this was a one off it seems.
New brakes are on too and now being bedded in. Thx to TOTD for being responsive and flexible by looking at my car instantly once I informed them.

Even had the light pop up on mine the other week when I hit hard boost (1.6) so switch over to lower boost map.
V Power isn't how we know it now.
