one between the battery light and the ABS light..

you guy's sure that's not the eml?

That's the engine diagnostic light, ie, management warning light, as I described above, picture of an engine.

If this light is on all the time, you may have a problem somewhere connected with the engine management system, have the system connected to a diagnostic machine or code reader.

Sometimes this light comes on for no apparent reason, then goes out by itself after the car has done a self diagnosis.

okay i'll check it again in the morning.. can you get away with the battery disconnected for 20 mins trick with these?

or shall i just get it diag'd for the sake of a few quid to be on the safe side?

edit - this being a 52 plate hdi rapier by the way..

If there is nothing apparently wrong, you may clear the light by disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes, but make sure you have the radio code if you have a coded radio. As I said, sometimes they clear themselves.

Maybe you should have it looked at, there will be a fault code stored in the ECU if something is wrong. Sometimes a minor fault occurrs, puts the light on, then rights itself, hence once the ECU does its self-diagnosis, the light may go out.

what code reader does the 52 90bhp hdi take?

Got a fault code reader?

The "K" light means that there is some fault code which is being emitted from a sensor and logged in the ECU - Check and clear the fault codes and do what needs to be done!

a Gemiscan gs400 (from ebay) worked on my 99 hdi.

I be temped to clear the faults and then see if it comes back. could be caused just by bad connect or something (especially in this weather). So worth checking there is a "real" fault code (one that comes back) than going out spending more on fault code reader or getting someone else to.

didn't realise they stripped the transistor symbol from D9s. Must have gotten tired of ppl thinking it was a 'K' ;)

The 205 and 405 had a "K" light - I think that the 406 D8 and the 306 N5 were the last Pugs to have it!

Possibly to stop owners driving about wondering why there's a K on their dash - does it stand for OK? Or ¿que?
