Technical whats this warning light?

[pac]

hi people just bought my first fiat i got the marea weekend 2.0 20v and had a few problems with it but after a short while looking through your site i've got most of the answers but one. there is a warning light on dashboard which stays on for say two to three mins after startup it is red and looks sort of like a red angled rectangle with fluid coming out of it lol sorry im hopeless with cars and not got a clue what it is it has just started coming on recently i suppose it sort of looks like a shower attachment lol thanks in advance pac.

I think its something to do with the fuel injector. My old mk1 punto had this and it used to come on at startup and sometimes stay on for 3 minutes. Maybe not related but when I took it for MOT it was leaking petrol

Do you have the handbook? All the dashboard warning lights are explained in there. Might be easier for you to verify which light is showing then ask for advice rather than for us to be guessing which light is on.

Does sound like it could be the fuel injection warning light. Let us know.

Hello Pac, do you mind me asking how much you paid for it and what year it is? also where did you find it? i'm having a hard time finding any to look at, at the minute.

Cheers,

as suggested its the injection warning light and you need to get the error read. About £35 from most fiat garages, it hopeless trying to guess what it might be and you will probably end up paying more than that in trips to halfords and bottles of injector cleaner etc.

JCS may have finally cured my injector warning light, but will post when i'm sure

cheers

As stated diagnostic best bet but could be looking at a injector or more,not uncommon on these.Fingers crossed it's something easy,& cheaper
