Anyone got an OBD scanner or can recommend a local garage in Morzine?

2013 vito v6 auto. Drive here was faultless. Filled up at the fuel station by super morzine (with diesel!) and the engine warming light came on when I restarted. Nothing discernible wrong with the way it drives but obviously now concerned...

Does Morzine use the same colour of fuel pump nozzles as the UK?

The Peugeot place in Montriond is pretty good. The have always managed to sort any probs I've had in an efficient way. There is also the place on the left as you leave town towards Les Gets.

I've used the Peugeot place (Thiollay) in Montriond for a few jobs including new clutch hydraulics and even bigger job a new head fitting. Unfortunately they did fit the fuel pump timing belt one tooth out on the T4 when doing the head which was a pain and didn't get rectified until we got back to blighty (van drove down on power).

They're OK really, and will Def diagnose your fault.

There's a well recommended mechanic down near the carrefour

I used the garage on the roundabout by the main lift - the place that serves petrol. It was only tyre fit, but they didn't try to rip me off, unlike the garage in Les Gets.

I have the same van and engine.
It's only done that on 2 occasions when I ran really low or ran of diesel. Fill it up with good diesel and run it, the light will go out in a day.

Thanks colp. Yes I'd run it into morzine on fuel vapours and, although the light only came on after I'd refuelled, a day of driving (just to Les lindarets and back for lunch) has seen it clear. I'll buy an OBD back in UK.
