Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / December 2003Strange light on the dash coming on (306 Diesel)
Hi I've noticed for a while now a light appearing on the dash - it was so fast at first I thought it was my eye lash catching my eye. Anyway the light stayed on today for about 5 seconds - it looked like a tube thermometer "I think" I've never seen this symbol before, anyway I have a feeling its water temperature so what I am thinking of can I (if I can find it) earth the temperature sender the car has a temp gauge on but I want to prove this sender obviously these Peugeots must have two on them. While I remember do these vehicles have a warning light for water in the fuel? The vehicle was reitered in 1993 (L) 1905 CC Bill "Bill" <noemailaddressincludedbecauseofstalkerspleasedon''t-takeoffence-I-can -provide-an-emailaddressifyouneedone@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:xIFEb.186$i71.516618@newsfep1-win.server.ntli.net... > Hi I've noticed for a while now a light appearing on the dash - it was so > fast at first I thought it was my eye lash catching my eye. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Bill I'm pretty sure it's the Water In Fuel warning light. From your description it sounds like this and it does have the habit of giving false indications. However, I'd just check for water in fuel just in case - it's quite quick and easy to check. Just drain a little of the fuel from the bleed tube at the bottom of the fuel filter.

I've checked the Haynes manuals and there's nothing in there. Bill Surely the 306 handbook tells you?!

Maybe not My 406 handbook says the Airbag warning light is "an engine management fault" And the Battery/Alternator warning lamp is "ABS Failure". I didn't get a handbook I bought the car second hand (no papers) - though if somebody has the time to scan this for me I'd appreciate this. bill > Surely the 306 handbook tells you?! > "Bill" <noemailaddressincludedbecauseofstalkerspleasedon''t-takeoffence-I-can-provi > de-an-emailaddressifyouneedone@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:y0YEb.164$6m3.321979@newsfep1-win.server.ntli.net...

Kept flashing on for a while and then would go away again. cheers, Len > On Mon, 22 Dec 2003 15:32:18 -0000, "Bill" <emailaddressincludedbecauseofstalkerspleasedon''t-takeoffence-I-can-provide -an-emailaddressifyouneedone@hotmail.com> > wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >> > > >> > > "Bill" <noemailaddressincludedbecauseofstalkerspleasedon''t-takeoffence-I-can > >> > > -provide-an-emailaddressifyouneedone@hotmail.com> wrote in message > >> > > news:xIFEb.186$i71.516618@newsfep1-win.server.ntli.net...

I suppose if it starts again I'll change the fuel filter.

Never changed anything and it went away in the end! cheers, Len |
