TD5: Intermittent fuel filter warning light

OK, I've done a quick drain of the filter until I definitely had diesel coming out.....but now when I switch the ignition on....no light at all!

In the RAVE manual it says it should come on for 3 seconds whilst doing a self check. I took it for a spin round the block too, still nothing (nor an intermittent warning either - which is good!).

I've definitely put it back together right - its not too tricky, even for me. Do you think I've blown the fuse or it is just not illuminating as I've got no water in there? :confused:

Thanks.

Just an inquirey, might have been a cause, but others have the same problem, so i'd say it's a fauly sensor.

I use flash lube BTW, it isn't a power boost type one, but you don't really need too, i do it as an extra top end lube.

Suggest you have a look at the Knowledge Base on Web Rover

I had the same problem! Drained the filter checked connection! Still kept flashing from time to time! So I bought some Fuel Doctor put some in , now it doesn't do it! Fuel doctor breaks down the water and lets it go through the fuel system without damaging the fuel system or the engine! I use to use it in my D1 now I use it in my D2. Great stuff you can get it from Super Cheap auto and some marine engine repairers!
