Engine Warniing Light Came On And Lost Power - Any Help

[loops]

I was driving up a hill when I lost power and my engine warning light came on. I stopped as soon as i could-turned off ignition and had a look under the bonnet - couldn't see anything a miss- started engine and warning light had gone off and power was back. What could be the problem?

Hi -it's diesel

i think you have to clean an EGR first.

Invest in a fault code reader it'l pay for itself in the first use as many garages charge a lot to connect up. Let us know what the code is. I bought mine from Argos several years ago. I think they have come down in price now generally speaking.

Sorry to contradict guys but I think that a cose reader won't read it (too old) and the EGR is low risk.

On your 2002 model I think the SCV's or the VSV are favourite.
