Engine Management light

My Engine Management light now takes longer to go off than before, maybe 5-7 seconds. Is that normal.

Re: Battery problem

I think there is a problem with the starter motor. I have to take it out and maybe replace it. Is there anything I should pay attention to during dismantling.

Re: Engine temperature

Hi Dany

Sorry for the late answer. I replaced the thermostate. It did not solve the problem fully. I then cleaned the radiator outer side with the garden hose at
full power. That helped and brought the temperature down below 90 degrees.

Re: engine won'tstart

The snapped belt could have hit and damaged some wiring preventing the car from starting.

Re: Has the Mechanic fitted the wrong shocks?

Hi, I have the same problem. My car was very smooth before changing the shock abs.
Does anyone know if part number 5202.R5 is the shock absorber for a 406 D8 2.0 from 98.
