1.1 dash symbol

[Bertyvtr]

Got a problem with my 1.1 there's a symbol next to the clock in picture 1 and when I start the car the symbol flashes with min and max either side under the clock picture 2 might be worth saying that the rev
Counter and fuel gauge don't work either

I believe thats the oil level. Might want to check your oil level.

Looks like your car wants to play hang man. Providing you have a manual is it not in there?

[f13sta]

well the spanner means time for a service normally. as you gone above the 12500 miles since the last reset of the service counter

[Bertyvtr]

Yeah I mean the little symbol next to the clock on the right

[Bertyvtr]

Think it's the low oil light but apparently if it flashes then there's a problem any ideas on where to start to fix this

Check your oil level 1st lol.:fcuk:

[Bertyvtr]

Oil level is fine but it's still
Flashing on start up

[f13sta]

:oops:

[Matty_VTR]

He already said he's not on about the service spanner, Like i said its the oil level indicator, do it do it every time you start up? or has it just done it a few times?

[f13sta]

shit my bad forgot my left fron right

[Bertyvtr]

It done it once then was ok for a couple of days now it does it everytime
On start up

[Manu]

service your car / reset your counter.

It is indeed the Oil Level Indicator.

When it flashes, it is telling you there is a fault with the Oil Level Detection system.

Unfortunately, I don't know the method the car uses to detect the Oil Level, so cannot help with regards to fixing the problem.

IME, these systems are rarely accurate and tend to fail 'early' on cars which have had poor oil servicing in the past.

[Bertyvtr]

Thanks everyone does anyone know what method it uses to detect oil level ? Or how to fix the fault

[AnthonyMartin]

how about service the car first? your car says it needs one and it may fix the fault you are having, as the oil may be too thick, or the filter is blocked and not allowing enough oil through...
