Best Answer
dealer who put the scan tool on is lying to you!!! The car with the spanner in the middle of it means there is a fault in your engine management system, this is what it means. I work on these cars everyday. Take it to another dealer mate i cannot tell you what it is as i would have to put the scan tool on it myself to diagnose the problem. But if it's using excessive fuel could very well be an o2 sensor fault or could be an EGR fault as these faults will bring up this light!!! There is programming for these to totally get rid of the EGR altogether!!! Take it back or somewhere else someone who is good with diagnostics and just won't clear the code and tell you 'oh there's nothing in there', I've seen this so many times as technicians don't know how to diagnose stuff properly.

Thanks for your reply, can my son do damage to the car driving it while he waits to take it to the garage?

this is a management problem which could be nothing but is likly to do with the throttle body which will be sticking,try spraying WD40 on the throttle link and it will write it self.

if there is no overheating or other problems that you can hear,engine knocking !!!then it should be ok to drive.

my daughter had the same problem and used the car with no problems for three months before the light went out on its own.
