Recently my car has thrown up an engine management light, I have scanned for fault codes which has come back with P2196 & P2196b which would appear to relate to the O2 sensor, given I cant get the car booked in for any work for weeks (the car has an extended warranty) are there any issues continuing to run the car?

It will run, but it maybe use more fuel and be down on power, plus I belive if you are stopped for a road side check they can scan the car and see how long you have been driving round with the emissions light on.

mine went at 40k, new bosch sensor from GSF and all is OK now.

Well my issue appears to have solved itself......for now.......the engine management light disappeared by itself and has not returned (not to say the problem wont come back)

Mine would come and go to start with, but as the sensor died the car would over fuel more killing the sensor faster meaning the light would come back on quicker. Since swapping the sensor no issues now and mpg is a touch better as well
