Hi
Any advice greatly appreciated.
I have a Citroen Picasso 2001 Petrol 1.8 and the orange engine management warning light has started to flash, immediately followed by loss of power.
I don’t know an awful lot about cars but let me try to explain the symptoms:
Initially the light would flash followed by loss of power – it feels/sounds like it runs on one spark plug – rough! It would only last a couple of minutes, then everything back to normal. It can happen any time – on start-up, when running, hot cold etc
Now its constant and doesn’t go away so it stuck on the drive.
Worryingly I noticed underneath the car that the exhaust pipe (about where the hand brake is) and just before the pipe enters the first box it glows red hot after its being run for 5 mins.
Any idea’s?
I know it needs taken to a garage (is it still ok to drive there?) but Im trying to get an understanding wrong
Thanks
