splinta ste Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Its telling you its got low pressure, does it sound any different to normal? The sensor may have brokenhard to say if it sounds different as ive caught exhaust on a speedramp causing it to blow not had time to fix yet, maybe this could be part of the problem? clueless on watercooled cars only ever tinkered with aircooled.

Defcon5 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 No, exhaust wont affect it. Get it looked at asap though, as if the warning is genuine, it could be doing serious damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
