A warning light has come on the dash of our berlingo. It's located on the top right part of the dash, looks a bit like oblong/engine with a line infront of it. The handbook has gone so I can't check. 1.9 d 54 plate. Many thanks in advance for your help.Whats wrong?

Something like this?

Engine fault code. Get a garage to read them for a tenner or so.

My money is on Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve. The law is that the car must throw on the Check Engine light for any emissions related fault, so most of the time that lamp means there's an emissions fault...

I don't think there's anything that packs up at a rate of knots like catalysts do on petrol cars (a sick Lambda sensor on a petrol car can cause this error, and the car will burn out the catalyst very quickly as a result), but I'm not a diesel fan.

If they are only charging a tenner I would be wary of there abilities to actually read the faults properly.

You get what you pay for and quality diagnostics are not cheap or easy.
