Tranist Warning Lights

Postby tonycrew » Sat Nov 21, 2009 4:28 pm

Hi all, i have a 1998 Transit SWB MiniBus, i was wondering if someone could tell me what the warning lights are, From left to right please.

Because i have one that comes on every now and then for a split second which is the 2nd or 3rd one from the left Below the Temp Guage, it's an orange colour.
I have only just bought this after my last one a 1993 was stolen and used in ram raids, and they wrecked the chasis on it, so it got scrapped,

I will post some pics of my old and new one in the next day or 2, as this one has a different engine than my last one, it's a recon that has only done 60k, it looks nice enough.

Anyway any help would be appreciated as i'm worried about this light.

Thanks

To be honest i dunno it comes on and off SO FAST i don't get chance to see it. I tried looking at what the picture is but i can't make it out, and like i say it flashed on to quick while i was driving for me to see it.

It flashed on 3 times last night in an hour long drive each time for about half a second.

If it is water in fuel, is this bad... do you know what it means...?

Yes your right it is that one, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, i did a search and found out it's not too serious. i will replace the fuel filter.

Again Thanks.

That light sometimes flickers on in my van and i recently replaced the fuel filter so i think it must be normal
