What's that?.....Amber Light flashing above choke! 1.6TD

Post by KarlT »

Hi. Yeah me again.

What's the light for above the choke?
Only noticed it today. Flashes away. Seems to dim with more revs.

Hmmmm, interesting.

I'll post a pic sometime. I can definately see it pulse with revs. Brightest on tick-over & almost completely out by 3000rpm.

Strange, :?

For info: it`s not a "choke", it`s a cold start device on a diesel. (or somewhere to hang your handbag if you are the female of the species) :)
Keep it real.
