C3 Engine Light

[paulw]

I am having a problem with my C3 in that the engine light is continuously lit.

 

Last week I had some problems when the light first came on as the car was a bit juddery. It turned out that the emission coil needed replacing and that seemed to be the end of it.

 

However, yesterday the engine light came back on. The car is handling normally and I have driven it without any problems but the light has stayed on.

 

I just wondered if this has happened to anyone on the forum before or if anyone has any suggestions.

 

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

A common fault on the 1.4 petrol is fuel injector failure. This brought up the engine light on our car but it also did not run very well. There are a few posts on this. Cause appears to be water getting passed the wiper washers and dripping on the injectors.

I had the same issue with my car. Seems to be the Sagem cheapo injectors. I had 2 fail in 18 months. Its unheard of in car circles when I reported my issue elsewhere and it was just out of Warranty by 2 weeks.

 

If the injectors are replaced the light will go out. I have seen it with my own eyes.
