V70: Engine - Random Engine Management Light on

Squibbyj · Yesterday, 17:58

Sorry if this has been asked before but I have only just joined.
My recently-acquired 2009 V70 2.5T SE Lux estate, petrol, manual has the EML coming on randomly, and equally randomly going off again for a few days.
No other lights on, and no message appearing.
Can anyone suggest a few of the most likely things to check out please ?
Car drives as normal throughout.
Thanks.

If you bought it from a garage/dealer, take it back for their attention.

You really MUST get a PROPER reading of any/the fault codes, otherwise you are on a hiding to nothing and can very easily spend a fortune chasing the wrong things.

However it does seem like it's possibly an intermittent fault which depending upon the frequency of occurrence results in either the EML showing or not.

All just my opinion of course !
