    With the battery error code that is mentioned (for example), will the error code go away once root cause has been adressed or do you need to erase the code anyways after taking action?

      I had a battery change I got the exhaust light could the battery change be the reason? If it is when did the warning light stop coming?

    Ok, but if i do that, will error show again if there is real problem or will car just continue ignoring that problem, like, forever?

      It’ll come back unfortunately but luckily for diesel cars engine lights are nothing much to worry about, had my engine light on over 5 years and eventually just pulled the dame bulb out, problem solved 👍🏾

    nick, is it normal for your car battery to only last a year?

    • @SimpleNickVideos
      @SimpleNickVideos  Před 5 lety +2

      No a battery should last quite sometime. In this case the battery was on its way out, and the car was hardly used for big chunks of time whilst my daughter was at Uni

      Hi. I use ‘cataclean’ You put it in when there is only 1/4 tank of fuel then go for a good spin..I think it says 15 miles at least.
      Worth checking plugs too. I have one plug that gets dirty. I clean it and pop back in.
