Earlier today I had to go out in my car, and on the way when I was gassing it, but staying within legal speeds, my I/C Spray light was flashing up on the dash board.
This is the 1st time since owning the car I've ever seen this! The engine temp was up to normal (only just though), and I have gone a lot faster and harder in it, but this is the first time its appeared! Any reason for this? It was freezing cold outside as well....the car was showing 3degree's outside.

Without sounding daft, is it empty??

I've never used it, but 3 or 4 weeks ago it was half full.

I will check though!!

Actually a hope it is, as this would explin the 'leak' in my boot.

deffinately the low water warning light, mine was always on after a good run out, could empty the bottle really easy as its only a small bottle

I've never used mine though to be honest! But I've only had the car 3 or 4 weeks. Do you need to put anything like deionised water or anything in?


It was that was running low as well.......will fill it up, and check to see if its emptying itself or not!!

Tesco do cheap de-ionised water, i wouldnt use normal water

Pete

Maybe because it,s on Auto, check it,s not on this and use the manual spray..

Mines mapped in via the Motec ECU and i used mine tonight in about 30mins of driving..

Pete

I was just thinking that too.. i,ve ALWAYS used normal water for my cooler spray..

Ive used ordinary water on intercoolers for 7 years with no problems whatsover.It evaporates so quickly anyway its totally worthless paying for water when its not needed

How do you turn it from auto? When I've been looking at it, when its been parked, I can press to button and it sprays it out. But I've not noticed any auto feature?!

Only JDM cars have the AUTO function as standard.
Some aftermarket ECUs also offer automatic spray control.
