IT should be your oil light... correct if I'm wrong as the pi is quite small... it should show that there's something wrong with your engine's oil...

I'm pretty sure...

would get it checked out if it's always showing you this... if not this, might be your radiator light?

The oil light is red, the check engine light is orange.

yeah agreed.....

but if the oil light isn't on (and if it is you should;ve already kissed your engine goodbye) there will be another problem

as said... runa quick check on the ECU and all should be fine....

either that or take it to a mechanic....

Is your car missing at idle or sputtering when you get up it? Could be ignition problem (as in coils) Are they the factory coils and how many k's are on the car?

yeh its on stock coil packs at 5700 km

but when its coil problem the traction control light and other come on aswell rite?

depends, mine is currently getting new coils as mine kept missing and dropping a cylinder. The only light that came on was the engine light so it could very well be ignition related. If your having similar symptoms to me its most probably your coilpacks.

I think it depends on how bad the faulty coil is. Mine started missing before the engine light went on and a guy on here by the name of alexr34 had no problems at all except his engine light went on. They both turned out to be the same problem. If in doubt take it to a mechanic that can do a diagnostic on it and it will tell you which error code is causing it to come on. Or if you like to do things yourself I think there is a thread on here showing you how to check the error codes for yourself. PM 666dan and he should be able to help you.

my guess! this is an engine check light with most cars they will come on momentarily after start-up, this is normal from new. If the light stays on it could mean the engine has reached 100,000 klm and now needs a major service ie timing belt or the like.

mines almost 60000km and the light gone out its been around a week now since its gone out

so for now not really worrying

until it comes back on again

Oxygen sensors......???

Faulty coil pack.......???

Faulty wiring or Spark plugs....?????

AFM's..(High knock levels)...................???

These can all send the light on.

Best is to read the codes....find the error and address the problem.

Cheers

knocking / pinging / pre-detonation. in the engine. generally happens under load because of bad fuel / bad tune, the engine will make a distictive rattle when loaded up under acceleration. If you hear this back off drive steady get it fixed.

means the fuel is igniting before the piston reaches the top and the spark hasn't fired.
