What fault light is this on my Audi beater?
Its an Audi 100 L plate 
I'm guessing its top up of the washer bottle?
On another note, the sensor circled below is causing me bother. The car is hesitating and hunting which I thought would be a MAF fault, but if I unplug the beast in question it seems to cure it - although it then runs very rich and often wont start up.
I am told its an idle valve but looks to me like an intake air temp sensor. It wires into the MAF.
Help appreciated!

It'll be either the washer water or the coolant (I think it's the coolant) so try topping them up/checking the levels.

Hi Fab
After going to the Ring in the DC5 I realised that RWD is the way forward, even though the car performed amazingly. I just noticed how much more the S2000 can do.
So... im going back to one of them. Great cars and the longest ive owned any car was the S (18 months)
The best one I have had by far is the Evo though - I can't think of much that can better it sub 40k. Im just being all sensible money wise for now so NA fits the bill
Interestingly I haven't lost hardly aything on recent cars. The Evo and DC5 I broke even on. The S2000 was a big hit as I sold it to a trader. i couldnt afford to do it if I was losing lots of £££
Its all good fun though
