***update*** Dashboard warning lights?
blingsta:
Hi all,
This has happened on a few occasions now, just wondering what it's trying to tell me :signLOL:

The lights stay on fir a little bit and then go off?
LC5F:
Mine has been doing that since tweaking the wiring to the ABS sensor - I was pulling myself up from under the engine, grabbed onto what I thought was the caliper but missed, pulling on the cable.
It was coming up all the time, but seems to have settled itself down - last time it came up was a month ago from wheel spinning/axle hop.

Hmmm :thinking:
Last thing I remember doing was using the jetwash at work to clean my wheels. I'll see how it goes for now and hope they don't stay longer
blingsta:
Thanks for the reply BTW 👍

We had exactly that set of lights, turned out to be the battery was past its best. Replaced it and it’s cleared the issue

We had been getting frequent dashboard lights at startup (PowerSteering, ESP, Tyre Pressure) that would go away after a few minutes. Had it checked but no fault codes, mentioned that the electric windows were a bit slow to respond and he also noticed the ignition sounded sightly laboured, checked under the hood and advised that it was worth changing the battery as that could be the source of the issues.
Stuck with Varta as the original had been so good, got a slightly higher spec replacement for £81 delivered.
