Unknown Dash Light on 2000 model Tranist

Postby Kyzza » Wed Sep 20, 2017 7:09 am

Hey guys,
This light pops up on my dash occasionally for a second or so at a time, I'm not quite sure what it means as I don't have an owners manual... thanks in advance for your help!

Looks like a coolant level low but a mk5 doent have a level indictor that I've ever seen, maybe it's a mk6 transit you have and you put this in the wrong section :idea:

That was one of my thoughts but the coolant level is a little above max so I don't think it could be :/

where's the pic?

as mentioned there's no low coolant sensor....so it's not that.
low brake fluid is the handbrake light.
washer bottle has no sensor.

is there a wire going to the fuel filter?
even if there isn't the wiring for it is in the loom and might have got damp.
If it's yellow with 2 or 3 wavey lines it's the WIF light.
Water in fuel.

The picture is coming through loud and clear on my phone, over.
It looks like a Gerry can with wavy line in it, over.
