Oh yes, mine has come on too!
Thankfully I was on my way from Norfolk to alfa workshop at the time!
Bella is driving totally normally. I stopped for fuel, got back in, turned the key and beeeep! :-(
Any early guesses before the alfa workshop guys get her plugged in??
Unknown really. I don't know how old it is. It's an original alfa one with the green dot on the top. I did install a new head unit on Saturday, but done 150 miles without problem yesterday.
I ask because I've read a few topics suggesting that and happening on start would lend itself to that I guess, but it is just a guess. I flattened my 5 year old battery installing audio kit and I got a bunch of ABS & VDC failures. If yours is the battery that came with the car in 2003, it's probably time to get it replaced though.
Really you need to get it plugged in - MCSF is a general warning, so could be a failed sensor or anything - diagnostics will at least show what's reporting it.
Thanks trashbat. I've just heard lambda sensor 2 mentioned. It's being checked now. Although the tech has said its not fatal and shouldn't be worried about unless the warning comes on again. It basically could be just a glitch.
I've only owned an alfa for 10 days, and 1000 miles in I'm starting to get paranoid lol
