Hello, I've got a problem with my 1.2 2001 Punto.
I got into the car to go to college today, and noticed that there was a light flashing on the dashboard, I'm not sure what the symbol means.
The light is just under the speedo (near where it says the kph), and is orange, I've had a quick look though my Haynes manual, but cant find anything in there.
I also cant find a picture of the dashboard on Google to show where abouts the light is, if someone could that would be great.
When I was driving to college, I noticed that the temp. was at the highest, with the red light on, last time I had this problem it was the head gasket, so I'm hoping its not this, as I cant afford to get it fixed again.
I had a look at the oil level, and it appears to be in the middle of the min and max, I will double check later though (Dont know if it makes a difference if the engine is warm).
I also checked the water level, however, when I took the cap off, it started hissing at me, and steam coming out, I'm putting this down to the fact the car was over heating, but the water also looked rather dirty, and looked like it had bits in (not sure what they are).
Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Mainly the symbol on the dashboard I'm looking for.
Thank you for any help.
