2007 golf tdi has dash warning light.

It's a small green light that looks like a speedo or tacho with a small triangle pointing to about the 2 o'clock mark. I can't get rid of it. :)

Hi,
i think the light you are seeing is the cruise control indicator. its not faulty , just switched on. the switch is on the indicator stalk. on later model they changed it so this light would only come on when you had set your speed.

Hi i have a volkswagon golf which the abs sensor light is on and another yellow light is on in the dash and sometimes it beeps and the red handbrake light will flash. also my speed clock doesnt work at any...

firstly you need a new sensor or drive on the gearbox ,its located above the passenger side drive shaft where the diff is ,change this first so it works then see if the ABS light goes out ,temperature gauge could just be a faulty sender unit on the engine .If the ABs light still doesnt go when speedo is repaired then check the sensors with a automotive meter and also check the toothed gear ring on each wheel as they do sometimes crack and come loose on the drive shaft .This fault will also throw the brake warning lights on for this vehcle

Yellow light on the dash board in a triangle with an exclamatioon point in it came on. the car jerked a little . what is this light?

its most likely the traction control warning that the wheels had spun and power was briefly reduced to stop wheelspin. there should be a switch on the dash centre panel with TC or ASR if you press this switch it will put the triangle light on constantly until pressed again. this disables the system so be careful as wheelspin will be inevitable !! lol

Alrite mate, there is a warning light on my dash its a warinig triangle with a circle round it, wot could be cuasing this its on a mk4 golf x reg

Not sure from your description but this sounds like your traction warning light (left side of the warning light panel, it looks like a triangle with an arrow going round it in a circle), it normally comes on when you have either turned the traction control off via the button on the dash or if its wet on the road. It can also be caused by cornering too fast.

Golf gt tdi 2.0 140 bhp mk 5 - esp light

When there's something wrong with the brake pressure that handbrake warning light comes on.

The ESP warning light could be caused by a lot of things, but most likely it's a dirty fuel filter. Don't take my word for it though, just go to the VW dealer and have it read the faultcodes from the ECU, which should point you/them in the right direction.

Alternatively, when you have the right equipment (= VAGCOM + cable) and knowledge, you or a friend yould diagnose the ECU yourself.

From the sounds of it, you'll need a small service (air filter and oil filter change, etc.) anyways. Don't forget to reset the ECU (or dis- and reconnect the battery) afterwards to erase the faultcode from memory (when there's still something wrong, it'll return soon enough).

You might get lucky with a small service :)

1997 CE Lancer speedometer

i had the same problem on my g/f's 2000 lancer GLXi, (with tacho),
i fixed the problem by putting a jump wire on the back of the instrument cluster,
the fault was in the wiring to the tacho part & i drew up my own wiring diagrams for the cluster unit,
then traced the fault,
looking @ the back of the cluster unit, the top right hand screw for the speedometer,,, follow the track on the circuit-board, there is a link wire UNDER the board (there is a dotted line on top where it goes, i think its the left 1,,, there is 2) this track then goes to the bottom left screw on the tacho,,,
i soldered a small gauge wire from the bottom of the link solder joint (MAKE SURE ITS THE CORRECT LINK, THERE IS 2 SIDE BY SIDE) to the bottom right track on the vertical plug socket (its common pos for the warning lights) this is where the "MIRAGE" & other "CE LANCER" (without tacho) gets its speedometer & gauges power from,

kind regards waz
if anyone needs a photo i will pull out the dash again lol its only 6 screws
