Title: Warning lights !! No handbook :( help....
Post by: janus909GTI on May 19, 2011, 08:35:28 pm

Hey all,

Have just had my golf into VW to have its cambelt and waterpump replaced, on its return im presented with these 3 lights?? (not being lazy but dont have the handbook currently) so just wanted to know what they mean?

Interestingly the lights come on when i turn on the power but go as soon as i start the engine? im not sure if they means its not a problem??

If they clear when you start the engine then I think it's normal.

Definitely normal, it would have done that before it went into the garage.  Its just you're on high alert for anything wrong thats made you notice them now.

As above, assuming they go out on engine start.

ha, well i was hoping that was the case "high alert" and all...........

yeah all the lights go out as soon as the engine starts, so does this happen with everyone's golf? out of interest what do they all mean?
