    This light came on yesterday, anyone had this before ? It says once it starts flashing to stop driving, that hasn't happened yet. Drove into work today but going to have to find a mechanic to take it to tomorrow so on a side note, anyone know a decent mechanic in Fairview, D3 ?

    Cheers in advance !

    How is it driving? Is it running roughly and does it feel down on power?

    Coil packs are a common fault on those cars. They're a few hundred euro to replace, not great, but compared to the cost of repairing a lot of faults in most modern cars, it's really quite inexpensive to repair.

    It feels fine to me, not low on power or running roughly. I've read in a few places now it could be the coil pack, fingers crossed as I can live with a few hundred euro

    It's more likely to be some sort of sensor then, shouldn't be a lot more expensive than the coil packs (may even be cheaper) - usually the car runs really badly and is down on power if the coil pack is giving up the ghost.
