Disclaimer - i know nothing about cars
My fishing car (5 door 207, 80,000miles) gave me a warning today on the way to the lake. I decided to turn around and use my main car, risking dirtying/smellying it up and scratching the seats.
Warning was 'Depollution System Faulty', which seems to point to a myriad of different things from a bit of googling. The car didnt feel any different during the minute or two i drove it but i dont want to risk getting too far from home with all my gear in it, only having to sort out a way to get the stuff back.
Having my mech mate run diagnostics tomorrow to give me a useful error code rather than a generic faulty message.
At first i was not too bothered about the warning but as i sit here fishing and googling the 'faulty' message, i am getting increasingly annoyed in how varied the potential problems can be.
Is there a particular reason why cars cant just display a more specific error code and require someone to plug a little pdq thingy in?
Whats to stop people just buying these little kits and self diagnosing? (are they pricey or do you need to really know your stuff even with google?)
Ps. If you have come across that message before, I'd appreciate if you can share your experience, though i am doubtful there will be many peugeot owners on OCuk motor forums
