As plink said, the ASR light, pointing to a bad ETA, is something that you should check. Based on the milage, it may have had it replaced. If so, that's one expense that you will not have to fork up!

Check Menu#24 for details on what happens when it goes bad.

On the other hand, my '94 has been the MOST reliable car that I've had. It was properly serviced so that helps alot.
