    Well, but after this picture you expect someone to do diagnostics over the internet? Engine and exhaust control light.

    No, I don't count, I just wanted to know what's going on at first glance.

    The indicator is only a indicator, it can be caused by a small thing or a serious failure. If you are going to buy, bring someone with your computer to let them pick you up and it will be specifically known. You will avoid unexpected costs, or you will have a basis to negotiate the price, if you really care about the car.

    fault or many faults in the engine control unit and a problem in the catalyst system, power limitation.
    It's so general.

    After all, the above is written in detail from what this control is.

    Thank you very much for your reply.
    Greetings.

    Added after 3 [minutes]:

    But in general I admit that I don't feel the power drop while driving.
    Despite these flashing lights.
    The car goes briskly, not muddy, Ad Blue downloads, so everything is ok
    Maybe you just need to delete them with the program?

    Deletion alone will do nothing. The fault is probably active and must be eliminated. Power cut will take place (I think) after 40 hours. If it is Euro 6, it will cut power at 99% after a certain time.
    It is best to connect any tester, because when it cuts off power it is always poverty and gnashing of teeth.

    Approx.
    Thanks for the info.
    Iveco is from Poczta Polska, I will write the order tomorrow to the workshop and have it lead to Tranz Pozu for service.
    Greetings.

    Mate, by now you've probably solved the problem - I think it's the light telling you there's a problem in the exhaust aftertreatment system. It's a shame that people write a lot but don't reply. By the way, I wanted to ask how the failure rate of these cars is. I'm about to buy a Euro5 Iveco Eurocargo with a 3.9L 180hp engine. How much does it fuel and is it relatively trouble free?

    We at the Post Office have the same Ivec Eurocargo 5 or 6 180 hp or 220 hp. The Polish Post Office has bought total Italian crap on springs, without air suspension, 120L fuel tanks, every day you have to refuel them after a route of about 300 km, they smoke like dragons, these solos smoke 23L/100 km, they have breakdowns all the time, either the DPF is clogged in them, or the emission control lights are on, the cars go into emergency mode, the blowers do not work in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear, only in 4th gear, and then you go crazy from the decibels. I would advise you not to buy an Iveco, the Italian is very unreliable, better are already Many TGX or Iveco Stralis, they are already less unreliable. Now the Post Office has bought new Volvos, 24 tonne GVW, and they're breaking down; we've had 7 new ones, and they're all in the workshop at Fiddler's ASO. If you start the engine with the key too soon, the Volvo goes into emergency mode and in 40 minutes you can start it again, the trailing axles are permanently lowered, that's why the fuel consumption is 29L/100 km. You have the lift lowered under the dock at Amazon for example, you want to start the car to drive away from the dock, it goes into emergency mode.....it's a massacre. You jump gently on the sergeant so called Volvo picks it up and you are grounded from starting the car for 40 minutes. The components are on Renault, these VOLVO's are a nightmare for all of us at the Post Office. Total rubbish. There used to be Mercedes Atego's at the Post Office and they were gold cars. All of these vans, such as Citroen Jumper and Peugeot Boxer, are in average, every week in the workshop, on the road non-stop "Check Engine" lights up, "Check Engine" message, drive another 100 km and it goes down to 80 km/h and you can't go any further, or in non-stop emergency mode. I advise against buying French crap!!! And how many times have the DPF filters had them cleaned, flushed at the services and the same thing happens, in a while....

FAQ

TL;DR: Eurocargo Euro 6 can trigger power cut after 40 hours; "Deletion alone will do nothing." Scan faults before purchase to confirm engine/catalyst issues and prevent derate. [Elektroda, qruq03, post #17561881]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps Iveco Eurocargo E5/E6 buyers and drivers decode warning lights, avoid forced derates, and plan cost‑effective fixes.

Quick Facts

What do the engine and exhaust warning lights mean on an Iveco Eurocargo E5/E6?

These lights indicate faults stored by the engine ECU or the catalyst system. The truck may enter a power‑limited mode. Treat them as diagnostic prompts, not final diagnoses. Confirm causes with a scan before committing to repairs or purchase. [Elektroda, skorp, post #17138583]

Can I just clear the codes to turn the lights off?

“Deletion alone will do nothing.” Active faults must be repaired before any reset. Clearing codes without fixing issues returns the lights quickly. Euro 6 will still trigger a timed derate if faults persist. Scan, repair, then clear. [Elektroda, qruq03, post #17561881]

How long until power reduction happens if I ignore an emissions fault?

Euro 6 can enforce a power cut after about 40 hours of active fault. Derate can reach 99% in severe cases. Plan diagnosis and repair before the timer expires to avoid roadside surprises. [Elektroda, qruq03, post #17561881]

I don’t feel any power loss despite flashing lights—should I worry?

Yes. A derate timer can run while performance seems normal. When it expires, power drops suddenly. Connect a scanner now to see active and stored faults. Fix them before derate disables work. [Elektroda, qruq03, post #17561881]

How should I check a Eurocargo with warning lights before buying?

  1. Bring a diagnostic laptop or tester and read all engine and aftertreatment codes.
  2. Road‑test, note regeneration status, and check freeze‑frame data for time since fault.
  3. Use findings to estimate repair costs, negotiate price, or walk away. [Elektroda, Cobrat, post #17127916]

What does an alternating engine/exhaust warning pattern mean on a 120EL19 Euro 6?

That pattern indicates an exhaust aftertreatment issue and logged engine ECU faults. Plan diagnostics and service to prevent a power limitation. Drive only to a workshop if needed. [Elektroda, skorp, post #17138583]

Do Eurocargo trucks often clog their DPFs?

A large fleet reports frequent DPF clogging and repeated emissions warnings on Euro 5 and Euro 6. Those events trigger limp mode and downtime. Expect maintenance and cleaning if usage is stop‑start or urban. [Elektroda, slawus888, post #21279574]

What fuel economy should I expect from a Eurocargo 180–220 hp?

Real‑world fleet data reports about 23 L/100 km on solo Eurocargo routes. With a 120 L tank, refueling comes roughly every 300 km. Consumption varies by payload, route, and body. [Elektroda, slawus888, post #21279574]

Which scan tools can read Iveco Eurocargo E5/E6 systems?

Use any capable heavy‑duty diagnostic tester to read engine and SCR faults. Popular options include TEXA, Jaltest, or an Iveco‑capable OBD tool. The key is connecting and reading codes promptly. [Elektroda, qruq03, post #17561881]

AdBlue is being consumed, but lights are on—what does that imply?

AdBlue consumption does not guarantee a healthy SCR or catalyst. Sensors or catalyst efficiency can still fault and start a derate timer. Fix the fault, then clear codes to restore normal operation. [Elektroda, qruq03, post #17561881]

How can I use fault codes to negotiate a better price?

Scan the truck and document codes and freeze‑frame data. Present findings to quantify risk and repair costs. Use them to negotiate price or demand repairs before sale. This avoids unexpected expenses after purchase. [Elektroda, Cobrat, post #17127916]

Is a Euro 5 Eurocargo 3.9L 180 hp relatively trouble‑free?

One postal fleet reports frequent breakdowns, emissions faults, and high fuel use. They advise against buying these specific units as “very unreliable.” Weigh that feedback against service records and a thorough diagnostic. [Elektroda, slawus888, post #21279574]
