    Yellow engine warning light - Help !

    I have a 2007 E85 2.0 with 38k on the clock. Earlier today on a longish drive the yellow engine warning light came on and stayed on. It happened shortly after I had to hold it in gear longer than I otherwise would to get out of a junction safely.

    The car is running and performing as normal!

    Bit concerned it's something serious, any ideas?

    Find out what the code is? Not too sure what parts stores offer checking for free in the UK?
    I would suggest buying a BMW specific code reader for future diagnostics.
    The Creator c310+ seems to work just fine for the cost but some codes seem to make you dig in to all the sub-menus.
    Once you get the code, post it up and see if any of us have dealt with the same. Guessing VANOS related.
