a flashing check engine light (CEL) is a warning to stop driving-one that is on steady (not blinking) means something is wrong, but blinking is BAD-make sure it is completely cooled down, and fill the overflow/surge tank, start it up (use 50/50 antifreeze) and let it idle until the engine temp is all the way up-this can take 10-15 minutes, make sure the heater is on high temp setting and the fan is on-look at the temp gauge if it has one to see if it looks normal. If all looks good, fill the tank to the FULL mark (or a hair above it) and put the tank cap on tight. Drive the car for about 10 minutes, and pay attention to the temp gauge-if it looks good, and the engine is alright, the CEL probably with either not light or will go off by itself.

It is possible you did damage driving it with a flashing CEL, however-if so look for leaks, smoke out of the exhaust, poor running/performance, or more ominous signs of trouble like air bubbles in the overflow tank, oil in the antifreeze of antifreeze in the oil-aluminum engines do NOT tolerate overheating, if you ever see a high temp gauge and/or a flashing CEL-STOP and get it checked out, you will save yourself a lot of money being prudent.

The check engine light will come on for many different reasons. Could be as simple as a loose gas cap. If that's not the problem, then you need to get the code(s) read. Your car will require an OBD II code reader. In some states, the auto parts stores will retrieve the codes for you. Without a code, there is no way to say what made the light come on for sure.

remove the screws holding the front cover and then you will see four bolt screws holding the radio in place, remove them then slide radio out unplug the connrector and antena wire, if installing an aftermarket radio you will need the harness plug to make wiring easy and also a mounting kit to mount radio in car.

Auto Scaner The rear water pump does not pump water onto the windscreen I dont have the owners manual and dont know how to fill this rear tank up or if it runs thru from the front one

Only the trip mileage can be reset. the odometer cannot be reset to 0.

this can be radio interference caused by a bad or cracked plug lead , the moisture can cause the spark to jump from bad lead.

If you clear it ,how would your mechanic know
what code was set,so they could repair your
ABS System Malfunction?

I would check it and make sure it is bad first. Some timing belts last way longer then 100,000 miles. Check for cracks and check the teeth of the belt.

1.5 liter has a chain I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

They are bolted to a large bracket in the back of the brake piston caliper.

check fuses to see if blown or try another adaptor in the socket lighter to see if it works if it dooesnt then the fuse if it does work oh boy a long and wonderous journey awaits you i am only joking it could be serious but check fuses first its easier

Your wiring harness for that car is against the back wall. Remove the plastic panel. and you will see the harness. from there you will see where the wiring goes

Hello Imrevoy.
When this symptom happens your blower motor resistor has gone open circuit.
When on the high fan position it sends full battery power to the fan so it bypasses the resistor.
That's why, now how to repair?
Here's the manual instruction.

1. REMOVE GlOVE COMPARTMENT DOOR
2. REMOVE ENGINE ECU

1. Disconnect the wire harness clamps.
2. Disconnect the connectors.
3. Remove the 2 bolts and engine (and ECT) ECU.

1. Two way flow heater models only: REMOVE AIR DUCT (Motor cover)

1. Disconnect the control link.
2. Disconnect the connector clamps.
3. Remove the screw.
4. Release the claw and remove the air duct.

1. REMOVE BLOWER RESISTOR

1. Disconnect the connector.
2. Remove the 2 screws and blower resistor.

1. INSTALL BLOWER RESISTOR
2. Two way flow heater models only: INSTALL AIR DUCT
3. INSTALL ENGINE ECU
4. INSTALL GLOVE COMPARTMENT DOOR

There you are, I hope your repair goes well.
Thank you for using FixYa.

not sure exactly what you mean but iam assuming you mean the ABS light comes on then the vehicle stops ?' if this is the case clean the sensors on each wheel as they could be dirty with a lot of metal dust sticking to the sensors ,which is throwing the light on which is causing the computer to detect a fault and shut the car down

It sounds like a leaking heater core.

Get an OBD-II Scanner to scan the codes off of the computer. One can get one for under $100 from Sears or Walmart. Or go to autozone or advance auto parts and get it scanned for free.

After getting the codes, the system that is failing will be apparent, and parts should be changed or adjusted in that system.

The light can sometimes be erased or turned off by the scanner, if the fault that caused it is gone.

no i do for free because i like the abuse from uneducated weekend boy racers who think that they know it all because they can change their own oil ,when you get your nappy changed and your nose wiped please come back
