Auto Repair Car Questions / Warning Fuel Indicator Light not working properly
« Last post by David_Marsh_1234 on June 18, 2013, 04:05:32 AM »
Hello,

I have a problem with my car and would apprecriate some advice. In the last 2-3 weeks my fuel warning indicator light turns on as soon as I switch the engine on even if the tank is full. The problem started last time I fulled up a full tank. The fuel gauage is working correctly but the warning light is always on.

1) Can you some explain why this has happended and suggest a way I can fix it without taking it to the garage?
2) I have my MOT test next week. Is this problem likely to fail the test? Just to be clear again, the fuel gauage is working properly it's just the fuel indicator light which is not.

It's a Ford Fiesta car btw.

Thanks

David

TSB is not a recall. TSBs are issued out to techs at the dealerships when the factory determines there is a pattern problem or engineering design fault in specific systems that don't cause safety concerns or excessive emissions.

Is this a kind of recall? Since the truck is 2005 and 46K, I think that I have to paid to fix this problem...

There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) on that.

Auto Repair Car Questions / Re: What should I fix on this 1998 E350 Club Wagon?

Trans service is removing the pan and changing the filter.  If that is done at the recommended service intervals a transmission fluid exchange really isn't necessary. 

Transmission flush is a misnomer.  It is actually a fluid exchange because the pressure the transmission produces in the cooler circuit is what actually makes the exchange happen.  It is not like the exchange machine is under enormous amounts of pressure and blowing the fluid though the transmission like a pressure washer.  If there are machines out there that do that sort of thing, you should steering clear of them.

Even though the pan is removed some of the fluid is still inside the torque converter.  Fluid exchange swaps the fluid in the entire transmission including the torque converter.  Fluid exchanging isn't bad if you still service the transmission at the recommended intervals.  Even when an exchange is done, you should still change the filter.

Fluid exchanging goes bad when chemicals are used or someone thinks a "flush" is going solve a transmission problem.  If the fluid is dark and burnt, the damage is already done and no amount of fluid exchanging is going to fix that.

Thanks a lot discretesignals, going to look into and revisit those things now.  Some I know already (slight leak in shocks), some I'll check on.

Followup question -- when you refer to trans service, are you talking about a manual drain and refill, or a full dialysis flush?  I've heard some bad things about the full flush.
