  1. Hi peeps.

    Just got a 250 that needs finishing up. It starts perfect first time and idles at 900. However after about 20mins idling I get the message "engine hazard failure".

    I've just got the car so haven't given it the once over yet.

    What could the problem be? Something as small as not water/coolant in it? Or a fuse maybe gone?
     
  2. Could be anything, it needs plugging into a diagnostic machine really.
     
  3. Would that be an obd ii machine?
     
  4. Yes you can start with an OBD11 reader but if that doesn't give you anything sensible then yo have to get it hooked up to a CLIP.
     
  5. Cheers mate. Hope it's something simple
