You state the oil light came on..........that could mean a dozen things. Gone are the days , where things are simple with cars. Best get it to a mechanic , by towing or driving and have the car scanned. Go from there.................on the off chance, Hows the coolant? any oil in there from the gear box....................?

I think it could be the o2 sensors, I was having really bad fuel economy as well - 17.7l but its dropped down to 15.8 since owning maybe the ZF service helped it not sure.

lykag6 Member 29 Member For: 5y 8m 2d Posted 21/03/21 10:18 PM Author Posted 21/03/21 10:18 PM hey guys! so dropped it off earlier today. Guy told me it was the ignition coil for one of the cylinders. Said he'll change all of em plus the spark plugs, and do service on the engine + fuel filter and brake fluids need to be changed. Will get it back tomorrow

Will help you more than you know atm. With all due respect. No one here can always give you a 100% accurate answer just based on a story of what’s happening. Without codes, it’s reallly really hard to diagnose an engine light. Legit could be 100s or 1000s of reasons for why the one light came on. here’s an example from ebay https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/313245323290 Edited 22/03/21 02:22 AM by biddie_fiddler What -> why
