in the cold

[MrMark]

:S When starting my car from cold, 16v mk2ph2, the usual warning lights take longer to go out and even trigger the serv light to come on.

i was thinking this is due to the sensors being so cold, and them taking longer to "activate".:S

the abs and the power steering (electric), indicators are the ones i'm talking about.


This happen to you guys?

ps. they go out eventually. usually 5 secs longer than normal though.

French wiring sounds like the battery might be having trouble.

Battery performace drops all the time I'd say 5 years is about normal for a battery it depends how its been used.
