[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1165882, member: 13739"] I'd advise getting one of the OBDII bluetooth modules + an app like Torque on your phone. They can't read all fault codes, but can be useful to quickly check why a warning light might be illuminated. I've got a full copy of the BMW diagnosics software (INPA) on my laptop + a cheap OBDII -> USB cable, so I can do full diagnostics, see realtime data, clear any codes etc. I know there's the equivalent available online for VAG group cars too, usually via forums. Worth exploring if you're tech savvy. It might be that you'd still need to go to a garage to get it fixed, but might still help to understand if the issue is serious, help when booking the car in at the garage, or even allow you to know whether a garage is being honest about the fault with the car.
