Ian in Northampton Posted February 2, 2005 Report Posted February 2, 2005 Does anyone know if a 51 reg. 2.3 Zetec should have a warning light for 'washer fluid low'? My washer fluid ran out yesterday morning without warning. If it should be there - where's a good place to start to find out why it didn't illuminate? Quote
Andrew T Posted February 2, 2005 Report Posted February 2, 2005 Fords Galaxy Spec says you only get this on the Ghia where it gives you both an orange symbol and an alert on the warning panel accompanied by a stupidly load beep. When it gives you the rather more important ice alert it is accompanied by a rather pleasing airport style bonging noise, strange priorities indeed. Quote
GSMGuy Posted February 2, 2005 Report Posted February 2, 2005 Ian, it can be turned on in conjunction with the trip computer and bulb failure warning, via VAG-COM - but you will need to fit the level sensor switch. Personally I'd recommend anyone with a Zetec to go the whole hog and do the cruise at the same time!! Mike Quote
Ian in Northampton Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Posted February 2, 2005 Many thanks guys. I had three Galaxy Ghias (company cars...) before I bought this one for myself, so I guess I got used to a level of refinement that is, alas, no more. GSMGuy: I make a technical incompetent look like a rocket science so, unfortunately, upgrades such as you describe are waaaaay beyond me. Shame - I miss the trip computer, not least because it made me drive a little less heavy-footedly. Which, at 27mpg, I desperately need to do. I miss the ice warning, too, especially as the early part of my journey to work each morning includes some bends and hills that require judicious driving even in the best of conditions. On the other hand, I never got on with cruise control - I felt permanently unsafe with it locked in. Quote

Ian in Northampton Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Posted February 2, 2005 Mike, looking at the spec, I'm not sure that's true, is it? The 'low air temperature' warning looks as if it's part of the Graphic Information Module that also contains the low washer fluid warning... Quote

Mike, My other car has Cruise and I'm a great fan - especially on roads plagued by yellow taxation boxes! How much of a job is it to fit Cruise Control to an 03 Zetec TDi? Dave Quote
GSMGuy Posted February 6, 2005 Report Posted February 6, 2005 Dave, you need to extend the loom that comes with the switch so that it reaches through the bulkhead - and around to the ECU behind the battery - I bought a purpose built loom from Germany, cost me Quote
