P0011 Code

Unread post by liamds3shite »

Hiya, new to this site.

I’m a learner and was out driving my ds3 earlier today, suddenly the service light came on and beeped at me, I can’t remember if the light was constant or not. It was joined by a solid amber check engine light. The service light then disappeared and while driving home, I did not hear any strange noises or notice rough idling or anything out of the ordinary.

When i got home i scanned the codes and found 2 codes, one was confirmed the other pending, both P0011. It is currently 10 years old with 30k miles, so due a timing belt change, was wondering if this could be it. But im not a mechanic so quite frankly could be anything i wouldnt have a clue, anyone have experience with this situation and could advice as to the culprit?

That code refers to a potentially nasty problem which can be avoided. As you are not mechanically minded have the car checked by a mechanic asap and dealt with. You will find more information at this site: https://carscounsel.com/p0011-code/ :)
