Japlover Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi guys, Bit of a worry..... my engine light and red triangular hazzard/warning light on the dash have come on, the thing is the car has enough oil and coolant in and runs fine, no clunking or grinding atall.... is there anything silly it could be or do i need to get it checked out somewhere? Is there anything else i can look for to diagnose? I drive a n/a 6 speed manual if that helps.... Look forward to some replies Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 What about the brake fluid level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlover Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 ive since done some searches and have found a few other threads similar with the same.... fingers crossed its just that. i`ll check. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlover Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 right i checked the brake fluid and its full up. Maybe a dodgy sensor of some kind? is there anyone in the south west i could take it too for a diagnostic check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake supra Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It could be your alternator. The same kind of thing happened with my warning lights. Took it to my local garage and they said the alternator had packed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 The brake fluid level warning is extremely sensitive, might be worth putting an extra mm in just to make sure. Have you checked for error codes? (click the blue text) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Do a check for error codes. Edit: Beaten by seconds..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I've had the warning light up when i had a stuck brake caliper but i think you would of noticed that (grinding noise at low speeds) but you can check that as well. Have you recently installed a decat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlover Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 yea ive recednt;yinstalled a de-cat..... im confident its nothing more than a diagnostic fault thats irrelivant to the runnig of the car but you never can tell. i`ll do some homework and feedback what i find so people who have this in the future can look into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
