Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Second time I’ve had this. Car has only done 500 very steady miles. Both times when I turn the engine off and restart it disappears. I’ll give my OPC a call, but just wondered if anyone else has had the same fault and has any insight. I suspect it’s a sensor.

POST 2Original post

Similar issue has been reported previously by some where there has been something in the fuel line (metal filing ect) that gets picked up by a sensor.

POST 3Original post

You can also get that fault if the cars not been used for a few weeks.

POST 4Original post

Yep. get it booked in. Good chances it's a fault sensor somewhere. There have been reports of a batch of dodgy sensors being fitted to cars in the US. Diagnosis should take the Technician about 5 minutes. I wouldn't worry about it as you're under warranty. Inconvenient I know but give you a chance to look at some shiney metal at your OPC while they fix it.

I'd imagine the OP would rather just look at his own 500 mile old hunk of shiny metal in his driveway!
