Seat Arosa Exhaust Warning Lamp - IKM
The exhaust emissions warning lamp has occasionally stayed illuminated for a full day's driving on my 6 month old Seat Arosa 1.0. The car drives just as well as before. Does anyone know what exactly the waraning lamp means and is a visit to the dealer service department really urgently required as stated in the manual.
