Good morning to all and a happy new year .
I hope that this question isnt too repetative but I have searched through the forums and cant really find the right answer I have only had the car since friday and now all the faults are starting to appear.
Ive done 120 miles since collecting it and yesterday the engine light came on and i lost power for a short period .the warning said engine anti-pollution system defective .Like Isaid I read through the forums and semi concluded this could be the air filter being blocked .as Im plnning a full service anyway I got all the parts ready to do it .so I just jumped the gun a bit and changed the filter abit earlier than originally planned .
now my question is ..have I deduced correctly and how do i go about resetting the warning light ?do I need to buy one of those plug in reader do-ickys or is it main agent only ?
cheers
cheers john Ive just done another 20 miles and it went out as I was driving so hope thats cured it.I do intend to do an oil,pollen ,and fuel filters this week Ill stick a cleaner in as well any recommendations ?also I never got a hand book so dont have all info .what would you say is the best Engine oil to use I believe its 5/40 fully syn and as its pricey I want to get it right first time.
thankyou.

i use 10w40 semi synthectic it what the handbook advises
but if you go in to somewhere like halfords they have a book that tells you the correct oil and any others that will be suitable
thankyou I tried a few places and everyone was listing fully synth .seeing as I didnt know whats in there I decided to stick with the recommnded.Jobs all done now new filters and oil anti freeze the lot thanks for the help and advice .
