VW Bora - emissions warning light - Cava

Brand new to this forum, wondering if anyone could give me some advice.

Exhaust emissions warning light came on a few months back, battery cut out, car wouldn't start, and after being towed to a local garage, spent 4 weeks there before they told me that it was all down to a corroded wire.

Same light came on a couple of days ago after I went over a particularly vicious speed bump.

-Should I assume it's the same problem or something more serious??

-Does the engine need to be subjected to computer diagnostics every time this happens?

-Can anyone recommend a good garage near Chichester?

Appreciate any input.

Thanks.

Suggest the corroded wire was a main earth strap. May possibly be the same problem if rectification not competently done.If the EML has lit up then a code has been stored which may shed some light on the problem. Look for our ad in Y Pages, (car engine tuning and conversions)
