Engine light after repairs

Zudecke_2

Hi all,

Just collected a car which had some light collusion damage inflicted by a third party.

Upon collection I noticed a trip computer warning flash up on start, but more worrying the engine light was on.

The garage asked me to bring it back immediately, where it is now, but I'm wondering whose responsibility this is given the light was NOT on when I I initially put it in(I took a photo of the dash beforehand which confirms this).

Garage haven't come back with anything yet but I'm grateful for any advice beforehand.

Thanks as always!

Why did you take a picture of the dash before it went in?

Mileage confirmation, at a guess.

You need to get the codes read. It may simply be related to low battery voltage if the car's had very little use lately. It may be utterly unrelated to the work they've done.

As AdrianC has said, it could be entirely unrelated to the work done. I had a similar experience after a garage changed the clutch on my ageing car. On the journey home the engine light came on, so I ran it back and they hooked up their code reader and it's a code relating to an exhaust sensor. A complete coincidence of timing.

Wait and see what they say. If it's unrelated to the work carried out, you'll need to get it addressed as a separate issue.

To take a reading of the mileage.

Thanks guys
