Title: Warning Lights
Post by: Tornado8 on 14 October 2018, 13:16

Firstly the Acc error came up and de-activated, then the start-stop showed an error, then the EPC light came on, then the cat light came on  :rolleyes: It is difficult to start the car but once running, runs fine i.e not in limp mode. Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Possibly battery.i know when they get low it can cause all sorts of warning lights. Check your battery is the first thing u should do

It does sound like it could be a single fault is causing this, as Mikey says, the battery is a good place to start, check the connections. I had a negative battery terminal lead which wasn't fully tightened on my last car which gave all sorts of issues. Either this or your car is having a catastrophic episode!  :wink:

Classic symptoms of a battery on the way out as I had similar warning lights first start of the day. Then one day it simply did not crank over as the battery had died.

Did you get this fixed?

I had the exact same errors in the same order too. I call out breakdown and they hooked it up to diagnostic machine. Turns out I need a new water pump and thermostat housing as there was a leak. Check your coolant level.

Well took it in, firstly the camshaft actuators on one bank were replaced, then found no spark to one bank(only 3v) from coil pack, found water ingress in harness side of relay in connector, then  water in coolant shut off valve so wiring repair and new plug. Now running better than ever :laugh: but  a b****y nightmare. :cry:
