>>>Management light on for a day? That's nothing dear boy, on my last Astra it was on for two years. Nothing bad happened.
Yep that's the problem with the engine light... does it really mean anything important? On my daughter's Polo when it has a period of short runs and the battery doesn't get a proper charge it will throw the EML light on which of course worries a 22yr old about to start a 100ml trip.
The three times it's happened it's proved to be a couple of sensors disagreeing for a short moment in time which puts the light on until I check it is the issue we expect and just turn it off.
However personally I'd not ignore an EML unless you've had the codes read and are sure it's only the issue you think it is. On cars with timing chains it could indicate it's stretched and about to jump a tooth or few and scrap the engine.
