My car flashes up with this engine fault light on startup. The service light comes on and stays on but the engine management light doesn't stay on.
It's stuck in limp mode and won't go above 25mph.
My cheap ODB scanner doesn't throw out and codes so I took it to a garage today and their scanner also didn't find any codes. When they checked the engine over my oil was sludgey and they said that was the issue.
I've ran an engine flush through and changed the oil today, but the issue persists.
I'm going to change the auxiliary belt tomorrow but if that doesn't sort it then I'm at a loss! Any ideas?
Money is super tight, I have £25 to my name right now and need the car for work. I'll do my brakes once I can afford the discs 😬
Oh edit to add it's a 2014 plate 1.6 2008 allure 92bhp
