"Check Engine" Lights Came On - What to do?

[Paladin]

Hi everyone, the "check engine" lights appeared this morning when I started the car (W204-2012). Did not have any problem last night and the car still drives like normal. Should i send it for checking now or wait and see? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

under warranty right? if you free then better to drop by to let them have a check before more and more problem occurs like david's doot doot

send in for check. the onboard computer should capture the error code. doot doot doo... ... ...

[Paladin]

Think you are right. But a bit sian, cos only 1 month old. Hope it is not the start of anything bad. Fingers crossed.

happened once to my dad's car... but the warning lights did go off. for my car, it was cos there was some leaking somewhere i think...

if it persists, best to get it checked. don't wanna risk anything...

I didn't mean you would be able to see an error. I meant when the mech check with an OBD. Did you mean OBD done and no error code flagged? Even if so, you should register a remark with C&C (I'm assuming your ride is C&C) to protect yourself (also assuming you didn't do any aftermarket air filters and/or engine modifications).

My previous ride was called little red riding hood 小红帽. I couldn't think of an appropriate name for the current ride yet, no inspiration

Cool! Is it a common thing to name your cars?

i wanted to name my car 'silver bullet', but decided against it cos it sounds like a fancy name for a suppository! lol.

so now its called Legacy! hehe!
