: Toxic fume light - Don't drive ??? Topper225 10-03-2006, 21:39:45 Picked my car up today after they had changed a coil due to the toxic fume light coming on . So as i am driving home it came on again so i ring them up and they said dont drive it and get the AA to recover it to them . Is this an overeaction or are they right , will i do anymore damage ??? Alex 10-03-2006, 21:42:21 if you do haappen to do more admage its only gonna be covered under wattenty. Topper225 10-03-2006, 21:45:41 Yeah but they told me to get Renault assistance to come out and recover it back to them but i could not be arsed as it was 6pm and i was in Comet looking at LCD Tvs :D so they have liked covered themselves ... BlackRat250 10-03-2006, 21:51:57 don't worry about it mate, they're over reacting !!! Topper225 10-03-2006, 21:55:33 I thought so just best to check , what do you think the problem is if they have changed a coil and it is still coming on? BlackRat250 10-03-2006, 21:56:49 sounds likethe same as mine. Theres four altogether. They changed two on mine and the minute i drove it out the garage, the othertwo blew. Quite common mate. I drove around with mine like it for 6 weeks. That was as soon as they could book it in !!! Alex 10-03-2006, 21:57:04 either injector or cylinder or gasket Ive got the same problem on mine at the moment. Though saying that im not getting any warning lights. I juust cant rev over 6000 rpm! Had an injector replaced today and its still the same. andy bassett 10-03-2006, 22:01:41 drove my other one for 6000 miles and i didnt do shat to it, over react is an understatement. BlackRat250 10-03-2006, 22:02:08 Hey its renault !!! Topper225 10-03-2006, 22:05:01 Exactly i will get her to take it in on monday see what **** they come up with ... WebCode 10-03-2006, 22:59:11 If the "toxic Fume" light comes on you really shouldn't drive the car, as the fault indicates that there is a misfire.. The misfiring cylinder will obviously not be burning correctly and therefore dumping unburnt petrol into the exhaust, This in turn enters the Cat and will very quickly destroy it as it ignites and burns the monolyth due the extreme Cat operating temperatures. It could be a reason to reject a warranty claim for Cat replacement, although generaly Cat failure due to a misfire should be covered under consiquential damage.. Alex 10-03-2006, 23:01:36 webcode any more ideas on my issue? Cant rev over 6k and coils and injectors have been replaced. Alex 10-03-2006, 23:04:24 Clip says ive had a destructive misfire on cylinder 1 WebCode 11-03-2006, 11:24:42 Alex: They tried replacing the spark plug? Checked the Injector wiring? Alex 11-03-2006, 20:36:43 couldnt tell you. Im gonna try and get it booked into london west in the next couple of weeks. | |
