    (!) symbol on constantly at 200km/h

    Hi guyz,

    Well after getting the (!) symbol on full boost and throttle, now when cruising at high speed, it stays on continously and beeper goes off as well.

    Manual says that this symbol only comes on when you're brake fluid is low which, yes you've guessed it, it isn't !:mischeif:
    Brake power is fine and my "Bomb" is fine AFAIK since the (!) symbol doesn't come on on a cold start !

    All the levels are fine and car runs great except for this fecking warning light

    HELP !!!!

    Thanx in advance for any suggestions !

    Check the PAS fluid level, along with the plug on it.

    After doing my suspension mine started coming up, had a check of the levels and sensors, all fine, had a wiggle of the plugs on the caps and it went off

    Might be worth checking as its s quick easy one to do.

          Evenin' S2 Guru's !

          Well it turned out to be low p/steering fluid.
          I've got a slight leak from that big screw cap that is just next to the valve cover, so we'll be putting some sort filling fluid soon to cure the leak as the p/steering pump is fine.

          Thanx to all who helped curing this annoying (!) symbol coming on !

          and take care all y'all !

            I'm glad it was a simple/cheap solution.

              Me too !

              I looked around quite a lot to get a low mileage mint S2 Avant, the one I bought ( my friends call it "Taz" after that Tasmanian Devil cartoon caracter ) was 550 km from where I live but I certainly don't regret going that 'extra mile' in order to get an (almost) problem free S2...
