[Mk2] [Turbo] Warning light query

Post by conor-mr2 »

Hi guys,

Ive just done a headgasket change and put the car back together. She starts fine but now I have 3 warning lights popping up on the car.

funny thing is these 3 lights only come on when Im under 1000RPM so while drining normally they wont be on but as soon as I stop or go under the 1000RPM on they come.
What is the third light in this next pic?? I cant find any info on it anywhere?

If this hadn't happened straight off from you doing the head gasket I'd say it's the alternator but there may be something you can disconnect when taking the head off that could produce this? Unlikely though if it's RPM related. What Rev engine are you running?

3rd image is cat temp sensor I think.

Yea its a weird one. Ive a rev2 engine. I have had issues with the battery draining before doing this whole job though. I used to have to disconnect the positive or else it was jumpstart time.

Ive left the car into the auto electrician to let them have a look.

turned out to be the alternator on the car. Auto electrician fixed it for me and now no more lights.
