Hi Guys,

 

On the way back from billing I noticed a strange light come on the dash which I had not seen before.

 

The only way I can describe it is a square with wigley lines above and below it and it was a red one. Second in from the right I think. This light came on twice, each time for about 5-10 seconds.

 

I was cruising at 80-90mph prior to the light coming on so I eased off down too 60-70 and travelled the rest of my journey, about 50 miles and it never came on again.

 

Car drove fine, Temp and Oil pressure were OK and car pulled fine no lack of turbo boost.

 

Should I be worried about it.

 

Cheers,

 

Deano.

Sounds like the catalyst over temp warning light to me.

 

Could have been just because it was such a hot day on a motorway blast, but could also be indicative of other things, like unburnt fuel getting in to the cats and catching alight or the engine running lean.

 

I noticed from my Techtom that the water temp goes up about 10deg C when the a/c is on. It was up to 97deg at one point.
