Warning Light In Temp Gauge + Stop Light

[Guest kirky]

hi, can anybody help me please, i have a 2001 xantia 2.0hdi (aircon). Over the last couple of days the red light in the temp gauge keeps flashing along with the red "STOP" light. I have noticed that when i turn the heater fan on the air con compressor kicks in & the cooling fans start running (even though the aircon is switched off) The car is not overheating and i have changed the coolant temp sensor but to no avail, please help if possible ... i'm baffled :)

regards, david.

the stop light normally means the LHM fluid is low so the pump is working hard to keep it up to drive height

hi, thanks for the reply but the stop light blinks the same time as the red light in the temperature gauge, if i don't switch on the heater fan, none of the lights appear, obviously this is something that links heater/aircon,

problem with the xantia is you need diagnostic tool to reset it and check for faults, I have the ELIT which does this so if your close to teesside I will check it for you free of course

hi techbod,

further to our telephone conversation i'm afraid i'm not having much luck, i pulled out the relays under the bonnet (3) but the air con compressor still runs, i disconnected the plug to the compressor clutch which of course stopped it, but i still have the blinking red light & stop light showing .... getting a bit p*****d off with it now,

regards,

I have been having exactly the same problem with my T reg 2.1 diesel Xantia...

 

Previously when I drove a Peugeot, I would get a very similar effect from the warning lights when the oil was low. I have topped up the level of oil, but the lights keep flicking on more regularly.

 

I am going to top up the water level today and add some antifreeze as I am not sure it has any in the system (when I work out how, as I don't have my Haynes manual to hand)

 

Would be really interested to find out how to solve this issue... All the gauges are reading normal levels, and the car drives fine... it's not overheating. I wondered whether the sensor was faulty...
