Guys i've got this symbol coming up on my car, i've been told its the sensor that needs changing, as its only on a secondary setting something like that, i can't remember what the guy told me exactly however i've been told the sensor will cost around £280, is there anything cheaper then that?

 

did he say something around the lines of a o2 or lambda sensore was at fault ?

 

Isn't that the gearbox warning light?

 

no its eml

 

That`ll need a code reader plugging in to see what exactly the fault is.

 

just looked in my handbook, i always thought that was a gearbox lol. Has your car got OBD ? DID THE DEALER DO A FAULT CHECK AND TELL YOU ITS JUST THE SENSOR? sorry for caps

 

ian.e has it nailed

Your ECU has detected a problem with the engine and lit up the CEL (Check Engine Light), it stores a code on the ECU memory called an OBD II code ( on board dignostic code) which can be read by plugging in a code reader into you OBD Port which is just under the steering wheel..........looks like a big version of a USB port

Subaru garages have a machine called a "select monitor" which can read the codes and try and work out what is wrong.... other code readers from other manufacturers can also read the code and work out what is wrong ..........

You need to see someone who can read the fault code..subaru dealer, subaru specialist or local scooby member with the kit

That looks like a bugeye STi dash

Nice car to get into scooby ownership

idd its a fault code logged in system if your lucky it will be an intermitant code and they can just clear it for you, if its permant then something needs changing/fixing. local garage should have ability to check it for you no need to go to a scooby specific garage

 

hi mate they did clear it but its come up again, which it needs changing, its the secondary 02 sensor, so will get it sorted asap!

 

Close mate its blob sti
