HELP - GTV TS Injection Light
On my the GTV 2ltr TS the injection light has just come on whilst driving,
the handbook just says drive to an Alfa agent. What are the normal reasons for this light to come on and what can I do myself, other than drive to an Alfa garage? All help appreciated. Andy Wilson |

On the way I noticed that the temp was rising and pulled over, the water was low but not too low so as I was about a mile from my destination I continued with one eye on the temp gauge. At my destination I discovered that the low water was even lower and that there was a air lock in the heater, after allowing the system to cool somewhat and refilling all seemed OK so I left it until I was ready to return home. The journey home was tense, with the heater on full to dissipate heat, but the warning light was now out and all seemed OK. Once home a check revealed that there was no further water loss. So to recap, 1 if the handbook says you can drive to a garage, still check your coolant first. 2 don't pay Alfa rates just to have your radiator topped up in the workshop. 3 be aware that the dashboard warning lights could mean something other than what the handbook says. 4 Check Your Coolant MORE Often. Thanks again, Andy Wilson |
