cruiser647 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'd say that looks like a radiator - so maybe the coolant level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Cruiser is correct, it means the Coolant level is too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 From the description, it's the Engine warning light, which means a general engine fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Of the three on the bottom right row, the leftmost is the "low coolant" light. The rightmost, which I think is the one being referred to, is the engine fault light. I had it when a coil pack died in my 330Ci. To be accurate, though, the handbook actually says this light means CHECK ENGINE. So when it came on, I opened the bonnet and checked the engine. It was still there… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I think you've got your left and right mixed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanceuppercut47 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 don't know why i didn't just cut and paste the specific light into a new pic instead of that generic pic! http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6791/23701858.jpg so this is "simply" coolant level, yes?t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Nope. Tipex has been the rightest reply so far. That's check engine. Patently, glad you're not doing rallying with those directions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I think you've got your left and right mixed up! Yes, I think I did. I need Satnav even to find my way round the dashboard. That specific light is definitely the Check Engine light. Make sure it's still there and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 There is that light, and then next to it there is the EML letters too. That could be confusing - so they both light up at the same time? Are you suffering from something specific? (the car, not you!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I only agreeded with Crusier because i thought the other lights where so easy to understand, so yes it check engine which has a 101 meanings. You need to plug an OBC reader to find the error code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanceuppercut47 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Are you suffering from something specific? (the car, not you!!) its not my car but have been told that the fuel ecomony seems rather poor and that light has appeared in the past week or so.
