Ignition Fault

Postby IanBottomley » Fri Aug 31, 2012 9:13 am

As i am driving along an error code of Ignition Failure shows on the dash with STOP. The engine cuts out and i coast to a halt. After approx 10secs it will restart and off i go.

Shows error code DF038

It doesn't say 'STOP' in big red letters for a laugh. This warning means usually that something major is wrong. I would suggest you don't drive the car at all until you know why the message appears.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!
