Hi, I'm in the US, and don't know if any of the auto parts dealers check codes for free, but I do have at least one friend who I'm sure has one of those readers. The check engine light has come on for O2 sensors on my other vehicles, but maybe that's not the case here. I'll let you know what happens :-) It's great to chat to someone with the same year model, so thank you again!
