Yes, in November 2010 - yes, 2010! The report stated that the fuel system was lean; but the self-learn program was unable to complete. The prognosis was that "an air-flow meter (throttle body) was required." I wouldn't think the mixture strength is too far out as the plugs look okay and running seems to be quite normal.

Is it possible that the engine management system is over-sensitive?

Well, I've driven the car several thousand miles since then, with no noticeable ill effects in performance or economy.

I was advised to run the car as usual and wait until symptoms show before going to the expense of a new AFM.

The only reason I'm concerned about the engine warning light is the MoT! I suppose testers would be wise to the fact if I removed the warning lamp bulb?!
