Maybe it does not need doing until after the BL day or maybe its too big a job and I need to find an alternative way to get it repaired. Sunday morning is great with me.

Six-cylinder Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 I took the 406 out yesterday to do the chores and managed to photograph the strange message it has been displaying for a few seconds after start up. Google translate says it is speaking to me in German, anomaly exhaust gas cleaning! The EML light has always been on so I suppose this fits in. The cars runs great.

beko1987 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 You know you can change the language right?

wuvvum Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Ah, the dreaded PSA "Antipollution Fault". My Rover 75 suddenly decided to start speaking to me in French one day if that's any consolation.

beko1987 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Mine never spoke German to me, equally it never threw a fault either. Does sound best to ignore it though, who knows what demons you will wake changing it to English... If it's coming up in German you can do a gaelic shrug as you don't understand it and that's problem solved! You not got a bottle of Andyrews diesel cleaner in it?

Six-cylinder Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 I collected the C15 today with a new MOT. Some welding was needed, n-s front inner wing and rear bumper mounting. Also the coolant was flushed and a new radiator fan switch fitted. We have had it since January 2015.

Its just the bing noise in general! When my xm had a hole in a coolant hose it made me twitch badly when it beeped. Same beep was on the washer fluid too, and the low fuel warning. When my dad's car shut itself off being self driving in l2 of the m74 in the snow it also beeped alot. Loud, through the sound system beeping. I had flashbacks! I don't think my xsara beeps at me thank goodness, the zx certainly didnt richardmorris and paulplom 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
