Engine light

[Shanna Flynn]

hi guys, new to this forum. Engine light suddenly came on today. It has been serviced (2 months ago) with no issues. Checked the oil and that seemed fine. I did change the battery 1 week ago but cant see there would be any relevance to that. Any advice would be great.

O2 sensors maybe.
I have to fill up on 98 octane to keep mine off.

Codes need to be read with a scanner.
Supercheap will scan your car for a price.

As above need to get the codes read, there’s a thousand different reasons the check engine light can come on

Thanks so much guys, will run it down to the mechanic today and see what they say.

to give you an idea of how random it can be engine light in my car was oil pressure sensor - so only scanning the codes will tell you.

Turns out it is the oil pressure sensor and cat bank ? Something like that. Second hand fitted $450 does that sound reasonably priced ???

The pressure sensor part costs about $60. But cat back is he talking about the exhaust?

Have you got a written quote ?

If so, what does it actually say ?
