[Mk2] [Turbo] Warning lights

Post by b4rk3r »

This is weird as it's electrical and intermittent, so i hate it. But sometimes when i give it death i get 3 red lights on the dash, battery, engine bay fan, and what looks like an intercooler fan, but they go out after a few seconds. The only other time it's happened is when it's cold, sometimes they stay on for a minute and then go out. Is this a small connection fault or is it a usual one? My alternator is only about 10,000 miles old it couldn't be that could it?
