Re: engine check light on dash
Welcome to the forum. What engine have you got as that will help determine the problem. There is no service indicator on the Bongo, so if something lights up it means you have a problem that requires immediate investigation.

Re: engine check light on dash
I would guess its a problem with the emissions system, so possibly faulty lambda sensor in the exhaust. Have you had any work done to the van recently? Someone with the 2 litre engine can probably shed some more light on this for you.

Hi,you would be better taking it to a Diagnostics service centre.
Re: engine check light on dash
Have you checked your spark plugs, had one with a weak spark on my old car and that produced a check engine light.
Didn't have any missfire to point to spark plugs
