so if that is the case... that means the attendant didnt screw it back in place properly...

please god, let that be the case ...

My guesses in order of likelihood:

1. Fuel Cap not tightened
2. You triggered the alarm with all of your in and out antics. (i.e. you got in the car and then hit the lock, which also turns on the alarm)
3. You're screwed

No big deal, might just need a new engine. If you didn't push it too much to cause a break down, it should be under the warranty. Otherwise.....you screw, but then I see that you are living in Dubai so I'm sure you are able to cover the cost of a new engine or two.



























j/k, I hope that it was just the fuel cap thing. Good luck, man.

Habibi,

We got the same situation here in NJ. State law allows only gas station attendents to pump our gas. It is a good thing during the winter months. Good luck with the GTR. Got any pics of the Zonda?

Well the cap being loose messes with the EVAP system, since it wont see the pressure thats required.

Lol theres no sensor on the gas cap. This happens all the time.

That's funny. The freakin gas cap causes that code to come up. As if you don't have enough to worry about with the car already.
