This afternoon whilst driving my 2007 Impreza Estate WRX the engine management light came on.
According to the manual this means there is potentially a problem with the emissions system.
After having quite a few car issues the last couple of weeks this comes as another blow so I'm hoping it's nothing too serious or expensive!

Can anyone shed any light on this & tell me what I need to do next.

Thanks

 

what codes have you got?

 

Nothing yet, we don't have a diagnostic machine so I'm gonna have to buy one or take it to a garage. Is it normally something serious? Am I okay to keep driving it?

 

Depends what's wrong

has it gone in to limp mode?

probably best not to drive it

 

Fortunately it hasn't gone into limp mode. I need to use it for work on Monday though.

 

Your car ,Your risk

May be start another thread asking if anyone local to you has odb2 reader.

 

if your anywhere near jct10 m6 tomoz drop me a pm and I will read the codes for you

 

07 wrx saloon mine came on last month turned out to be
Short circuit on knock sensor. First was from dump valve. Went back stock on that. Next was after map and exhaust gases. Nothing that was expensive.
Don't panic. You can get a reader on the bay for £20 which connects to
Android phone( only not iphone) which will do the job.

Hope this helps de stress I know how stressed that light makes you feel

I'm back in garage after noticing excess smoke whilst running Rrrrrrrrr
