What is this light on the dash??

[ColinG]

Never seen this before, it stayed on and wouldn't go off, stopped and restarted and it was gone lol...

 

[Rob669]

Is it a diesel by any chance?

No it's a clio v6..

Ahhh it all seemed fine, is it a Renault computer job to see what threw it up??

 

[ADS_V6]

limp mode light

 

[Short Norman]

flux capacitor needs re-fuelling?

 

[ColinG]

Lol! I didn't even go at 88mph either.

Will go back out shortly and see if I can make it happen again.

It may have logged something, which you could check with an OBD code reader, but equally it may have logged nothing and it was just a one off.

 

[Knuckles]

I thought that was just a "your clio has just started/reminder that you're driving a clio" light

 

[Craig]

It's a write off iirc

 

[Rubicon_]

Electrical fault light. Could be a number of things, mines recently was the accelerator peddle wasn't getting an earth.

 

[Bluebeard]

On a V6 I'd take a bet that a coil is about to s**t itself.

 

[GrahamS]

coil potentially. Check they're all plugged in first.

 

[ColinG]

Possibly coil but usually you just get the engine picture light, I've never seen this squiggly light before.

Throttle thing is a good shout!

 

[ady347]

my speedo would intermitantly stop working due to needing a new speed sensor and when it would stop working this light would come on straight away.

 

[ColinG]

Went back out, couldn't get the light to come on at all, car run and drove fine on a very short drive... God knows!

Always good to have an excuse to go out for a quick drive in a V6

Literally a mile though as I didn't want to get it dirty... 🙈

 

[Djw John]

Underuse light

 

[karol_SVK]

Had it once on my 172, washed her before, so might the water got somewhere even if I wasnt flushing hard.
She went just to 3k rpm. Then it was just gone after "reboot". No record when I checked it with clip afterwards.
Hope it stays the same with your V6 ;-)

All I can see is light surface scratching marks on the perspex cover.

 

[cat171]

If it's a coil the car / engine will become loud & very sluggish. I've had them go & after turning the ignition of & on again the light will come on (that is the light iirc for coil failure)

The first time it happened I was like WTF ? then I realised what it was. Luckily they've only gone when out locally.

 

[botfch]

You haven't kicked the plug on top of the accelerator have you?

That's what it used to be on my old diesel.

 

[Carlv8415]

Means the car is a write off, will
Give you £500 for it ?


Electrical fault light, code usually won't be stored as an OBD code. CLIP is best option

Check injection light
