Calling all 2.0 owners-

[andysat]

Hi all,to all the 2.0 owners out there-do you have problems with your emission light?-spoke to my indy today to re-book zed in :roll: -he told me BMW are aware of this light problem,he knows of a couple of owners who have spent quite a bit replacing parts only for it to keep coming on requiring something else being replaced

 

[DrNick]

Never had a issue (fingers croSsed)

Mine has been coming on for the Code P420 error. :x

Cheers guys-it went in today -they think the manifold may be cracked again! -they are getting a smoke machine which blows smoke through the air intake,and hopefully shows exactly where the leak is

Once its fixed sell it and get an MX-5, you may have less problem with it lol!

I think you have a Friday/Monday car in one there with the amount of grief it's given you.
Still look on the bright side, by the time you've replaced everything it'll be like having a new car... :roll:

A guy in an MX-5 just looks wrong imo, almost like you need a notice on the back that states that you're taking it for an MOT as a favour for your wife/daughter...

Never had the light come on, but had to replace the manifold under warranty. BMW said my replacement manifold is a newer modified design, so it shouldn't happen again.
