Hi

I need to know what a warning light means.

its split into 2 haves

top half looks like a box with a zig zag going through it

nd the bottom half looks like a curly coil

Thanks

is it a diesel? if so its glow plugs. whats the problem with it?

Probably means the glow plugs are being used. Does it go off when warm?

Orange light? Gotta be glow plugs.

Sounds like glow plugs, my brothers 207 did this.

its a petrol car, aformentioned light went on and had to jump start car

Peter Diffey · 30 Oct 2008 at 22:09

Cant you be more specific?

Is the battery drained?

Rackerz · 30 Oct 2008 at 22:13

Picture!

Jonny ///M · 30 Oct 2008 at 22:34

Immobilzer? Doubt it would help with jumpstarting though.

BigglesPiP · 30 Oct 2008 at 22:46

Probably indicating that the battery is not charging then.

What is the potential difference across the battery when running? And what is the connector to centre-pole difference?

From what i know this is the engine managment light, apprently it looks a lot like a derv plug heating lamp, car showing any other symptoms ?

On the missus clio the engine management light came on when one of the coil packs went.

Any sluggishness, miss firing?
