    (!) symbol on full throttle and boost...

    Hi everyone,

    As mentioned in the title, I sometimes ( twice in a week now ) have the (!) symbol that comes up on full throttle and boost...

    My brake fluid level is fine and stable ( no regularly topping up of the level ) and my "Bomb" is fine as well AFAIK ( no symbol on cold start or when braking )

    Any guesses ???

    Take care and ,

        You say your brake fluid level is stable but is it full? I had a similar problem when I accelerated or went up hill or over a bump the fluid moved around tricking the sensor into thinking it was low. Mine hardly needed any topping up but it got rid of the problem!

                Thanx guyz !

                I'll check the levels but I'm quite sure it's something else...

                Any other guesses dear forum members ? Or maybe even better... some answers ?

                Take care all y'all !!!
