[QUOTE="ghostrider, post: 30400, member: 176"] Hi all,Hope to get some input on the above. I've got this car about a month ago and all was fine until last Friday night. After a fill up, and on the way back home, about 10km in, the "Check Engine Light" came on. Stopped the car and restarted, but light remains.Since it seems okay, with no change in idle etc, I drove it home, slowly.Checked the manual, and it mentioned about the OBD detecting vapor due to the fuel filler cap not tightened enough. A little relief.Got it check at the mech the next day and the following errors shown (as handwritten by mech): -- 233 - Catalytic converter efficiency bank 1- 240 - Misfire, cylinder 3He cleared the codes and asked me to monitor.Jump forward to this morning (27/06), and I had to fill up. The CEL came on after 30km into the journey to work.Haven't had a chance to get it checked yet, but I am suspicious of the timing of the fill ups and CEL coming on.Would appreciate feedback/insights on this.TQVM [/QUOTE]
