Right guys, my engine warning light has come on, not sure why. I've also noticed that the exhaust smells a bit "odd" over the last 2 weeks or so.

What are my options?

No, IS200 is fully OBD2.

I've got a reader Koss, we can look at it when we do your other rear suspension arm.

ooo mind you abit more new than the Four!

shame though, its nice to be able to find the faluts without having to buy expensive gear, when we read my car with the reader it always tells us off about having higher than stock boost levels reached. Big Grin

and i do rather like the abillity to see the max rpm limit reached and all other bits. nice

Right, it was a VVTi problem, the light has now come back.

What should I be doing? I reckon the engine is overdue on a new timing belt.

Well the code in question was vvti sensor wasn't it? So it won't be timing belt related...

Edit: I take that back!! :lol:
