My car's been sitting in the office car park all day, it's been about 28 degrees here. I turned my wrx sti on and for some reason the check engine light was on.. it's gone now but was a little concerning.

It was genuinely like a sauna inside the car though; I'm not sure what to expect though, the car is in such good condition and I can't remember the last time I drove hard so I can't imagine it being anything serious.

Possibly just the engine breathing in very hot air on start up, leaving it thinking WTF was that all about?!!!

I've just had a look at the diagnostics, it's reading as a knock sensor error code.

No idea how it had a knock, I can't remember when I last booted it, lol..

Just to let people know, I always put tesco99 in, or shell vpower, I drive to and from work most days which is about 5 miles away so I don't really get chance for it to warm up so no boost! I tend to travel home at weekends so it gets an hour and half of 70-80mph. Oil changes every 5,000miles and changed spark plugs 2,000 miles ago.

wow 28 wish it was like that up here lol, its just the knock sensor that has failed or faulty delete the fault and see if it shows up again, its not the end of the world we sell the sensors for £20 plus delivery ;-)

Ah, right, I was just concerned, thought I had engine failure at 60,000miles! :-(
