Pug206HDi. Ran out of fuel, ECU light on - impaler81
Hi all,

I have a pug 206, 1.4 hdi and recently i ran out of fuel; yep was being lazy and tried to squeeze too much out of her.

Since then however, my engine management warning light has constantly been on and ive no idea why.

Can this light come on as a result of running out of fuel?? Or could some other sensor have triggered that causes the light to be on.

I know i should try find out the error code; but I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas or have experienced this before.

TIA.

Matt.

ran out of fuel - ecu light on since - GregSwain
Probably linked with running out of fuel - some sensor returning a reading that's made the ECU have a fit. Get the code read, and the light reset by an independent garage. HDI's are economical, but even the French haven't yet made a diesel engine that's happy running on fresh air! ;-)
