X3 2.0d engine light

Got in the car tonight just headed off down the rd and noticed the engine management stopped on, it stayed on solid amber. I did about 5 miles car behaved as it should, any ideas guys. I checked the Car Status menu and my app nothing reported.

Could be 100 different things (some more concerning than others). You need to get a code reader on it to see what's triggered it.

Absolutely best thing to do; if still under warranty etc, don't access the codes yourself, they don't like that (if they find out). So let them sorted it

And remember to stop if you get the red version rather than the amber one.

If you have an experience similar to mine, they'll clear the codes and 'wait to see if it happens again'.

I did remember that one if it turns red just stop.

Thanks guys

The tech came and put the fault code reader on, turns out I was the third one this week with the same problem, moisture in the DPF sensor and all three were after the car had been washed. He said if it comes on again book it in for a new sensor.
