Engine Warning Light 2005 E85 2.2
Ok had the car in with the garage yesterday and...………….
The fecking dip stick wasn't pushed home and air was leaking past it!
It must have been like that since I had it serviced last. Well that's all he could find anyway (apart from a leaking rocker cover gasket) so the code has been cleared, we'll see what happens.

New one on me! I guess the sump is connected to the intake via the crankcase ventilation valve, but that's supposed to be non-return (i.e. one way).

He said he could hear the sucking noise as soon as he lifted the bonnet with the engine running when he fitted the dip stick correctly it stopped. He actually mentioned that on some cars if he takes out the dip stick when they are running the engine will stop! they are so sensitive.
Well time will tell.
