Irvy Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I have to date fitted the nur spec with cat back pipe but left the other cat in, a walbro fuel pump is fitted, uprated plugs, FCD is in and blitz metal induction put in. Recently - in fact daily!!! when i am out out in the car and I floor it the the red warning triangle and the little exclamation come on. If i brake after a little spurt of the accelarator its also happening...but i know its not the brakes and am wondering if i am having back pressure? My gauge tells me i am hitting 0.9 - 1 bar max when flooring it. Would i be better to decat completely? Am thinking this may resolve the situation or could there be something else happening? Any ideas people? I have a RR day on saturday...will i be ok to go is another Q!! Irvine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Low brake fluid is a very common cause for the warning light to illuminate and may be the reason why your light is coming on when you brake. Even if it looks quite full, top up the brake fluid so it is at or just over the full level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hi Irvy, hope the light doesn't come back after you resetting the ECU but if so I'd agree with the above, low brake fluid level causing the light to come on. Happened to me with your car, I topped up and never had the light come on again. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Originally posted by ThunDeR Happened to me with your car, I topped up and never had the light come on again. Maybe there's a brake fluid leak somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Originally posted by Paul -C- Maybe there's a brake fluid leak somewhere? As the pads wear the fluid goes down so not allways a leak . Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
