Big Red Stop Warning Light ?

[avoneer]

The big red STOP light on my dash has started to come on intermitantly.

 

As well as the stop light, the small yellow temp warning light comes on, even though the car is happy chugging along at 70 degrees.

 

Any thoughts anyone?

 

Thanks.

my 1995 manual states this :

"Stop. will come on together with another warning light: vehicle must be stopped as quickly as possible with due regard to safety."

 

If it comes on with a orangy/yellow lamp that looks like an outdoor shower then your oil needs to be checked. I would take it to ATS or Kwik-Fit etc and they will tell you. (Or you could check it yourself - it isn't that hard to do). Mine came on and i checked the oil. I then put a litre of engine oil in - it worked a treat.

 

If it is another orange/yellow lamp then just contact Citroen and they should tell you for free what is wrong....

Hi,

 

It comes on with the small yellow warning bulb in the water temp gauge.

 

Even though the temp hovers at 70 degrees and the water level is fine.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Pat.

Faulty Sensor?

 

Have you tried to drain it and refill it (with a combination of coolant/antifreeze)?

HHhmmmm,

 

Might have to refil anyway as my matrix may be leaking.

 

May change the sensor at the same time then.

 

Thanks.

Might just be low coolant, try a top up
