    doing 90 mph at 3200 revs in sixth my engine light came on, flashed yellow in colour , then went off after 4 or so flashes , it came 4 to 5 times in total always at this type of speed and revs,,, on a trip of about 150 miles,,,the car has previously had the head off, cylinders, valves cleaned and stripped, new gaskets, plugs, water pump, doesn't come on any other time,, any ideas would be great...

    Get her plugged into Vag-com should be stored faults, go from there :thumbup:
    Coil packs & wiring to them give trouble (was a recall from volkswagen) Could be an oil pressure problem.

    Hi, the car was tested and I have been imformed that it was due to a lower grade unleaded fuel used,,, does this sound plausible...

    ...........could be. You should be using 98ron rated fuell or above. See inside filler cap there is a sticker in there. Only ever use V Power in my ED30 (same engine).
