I all just changed my fuel filter & seal as as usual the filter pot was weeping a tad from the top seal which it seams to do every few months or so but its not the 1st time so no trouble. But what was a bother is it over ran a few times after I switched it off just for a few seconds BUT it put my engine light on & anti pollution fault on the centre display above the stereo. I took it round the block & it switched off fine & is now spot on but still anti pollution warning & engine fault sign on the clocks. Or will it be a case of when I get my pp2000 sorted "haha fpmsl" will have to switch it off ????????

You might find it clears itself Brian after two or three trouble free start ups.

'the daft anti pollution warning' is just pugspeak for any engine ecu related fault.

The only answer, (if you prefer not to ignore it), is to get it diagnosed, so you know what it's moaning about.

Was probably a low rail pressure fault when you first started up after changing the filter, same thing happens if you ever run out of fuel too.
