Single Warning Chime

[Roo]

Any offers what it means please???

 

Just a single chime - but it repeated every few minutes.  No warning lights, still had over 120 miles of fuel left according to the display and not near the red on the guage (cannot remember what the warning sound was when I did get low before).

 

Been a looooooooooooong day and had to come back the long way on the main roads just in case it was something serious!!!

 

Thanks.

rang the local Ford garage who said call down, went straight down and saw someone different who said I had to book it in for diagnotics whic would cost £55 + VAT.... went a mile further to friendly local garage who said try putting in fuel in case it was just that and if not call in on Weds when they have more time and they will run diagnostics for free.....  £30 of fuel put in.  No boings at all this morning even before I did that

[Roo]

still no idea what it is as not heard it since then so did not bother to go for diagnostics.  NOT the low fuel warning as I let it get low and that is a ding-dong sound with a fuel pump light.

Don't know what model you have, but have you tried looking at the messages "section" on the dash screen??

 

I had a warning on my car (titanium) and didn't know what it was, so scrolled through to messages and it was there (low washer fluid)

 

just a thought

[Roo]

yes - no messages!!!  It hasn't come back tho not had any long journeys since..... going to Swindon on Tuesday so that is around 4 hours which will give it a chance to happen again

would a regen offer this type of sound???

[Roo]

not sure what a regen is but question no longer relevant as I managed to write the car off......... brilliant safety cage, I thought it was just a  bump until I saw the BMW on its side with a wheel rolling down the road......

ooops.

 

cured the problem then?
