Thread: Warning Light in my D3

Never seen one of them and it is not in my handbook. In that spot I have a LCD display for navigating through the trip computer - that looks like a LED display.

Can't help on this one even after looking at my handbook.

Looks like a telephone still on the hook.

Looks like the water in fuel light?

Ooo scary
Better to investigate before driving that's for sure.

Hmm.. Seems like dswatts is spot on!!

Check this link:

Warning lights | The AA

Right at the bottom, it says "fuel filter water trap" and the image looks scary similar to mine...

And if we do decide it is the water in fuel and it has switched off... my next question is, do I ignore it coz of all the rain we have had for the last couple of days in Sydney?

Whatdoyarecon?

I'd be getting it checked out real soon - diesels and water are like "supermodels" and "smiling" - they just don't go together !!!!!

cheers

You have the 'low line" instrument panel which is different to higher speced cars.

The workshop manual indicates this is water in the system but is non functional. From the workshop manual.

"28. Water In Fuel Indicator
This indicator is non-functional."

The manual indicates that if water is detected there is a chime.

If I were you I would get this all checked out to be on the safe side and I would do a precautionary drain of the fuel filter.

What does your handbook say - noting you have a different instrument cluster than most of us have.

Thanks for that Garry!

I did not know that even the instrument panel could be different between the models! But my handbook did not have any info on this warning at all in it. This was my first port of call anyways.

Perhaps the hand book is a generic one.. coz it has lot of other things/features which my model does not have!

I did not get any chimes though.. the warning light came on when I started the car and went off after 2-3 km's and has so far not come up agian. I will see this avo and perhaps give LR a call.

What does non-functional mean?

Not supposed to work - but clearly yours does. Of course if there was water in your system it should stay on - but I would be draining the fuel filter before continuing to drive the car as a precaution.

See the attached PDFs in this thread - about half way down.
