Title: OIL LIGHT Post by: scottie on September 22, 2009, 07:26:06 Hi all.
The oil light has just started to flash on my dash how do you stop it flashing its not costant and stops after abouy 10 sec. :wacko: Title: Re: OIL LIGHT Post by: Dave Milnes on September 22, 2009, 07:52:37 Change the oil and reset the light.
It's a service reminder icon that's all. Flashes every 2,000 miles as a level check reminder and as a change oil reminder depending on the actual increment. There is a reset switch under the front panel above the headlights if someone hasn't already re-located it into the glovebox or under the coolant filler flap. Instructions for resetting are on the main website. Title: Re: OIL LIGHT Post by: onurx9 on September 22, 2009, 08:45:46 Hi all.

Oil light turns off, if you press the RES button for 10 seconds.

Then , you'll never have to take the tupperware off to push the reset button again.

This takes two people with some telepathic skills to accomplish the actual icon reset though. ;):ph34r: Title: Re: OIL LIGHT Post by: scottie on September 28, 2009, 07:23:50 Thanks for that everyone :thumbup:
Title: Re: OIL LIGHT Post by: Chris Salter on September 28, 2009, 08:41:41 Now that is a very good point re 2 people with telepathic skills, I'm glad I went ahead and re- sited it! :D
