Default Warning light on 1994 405 Diesel - Help!

Hi all,

I've got an old 405 diesel that my mate gave me, and a light comes on intermittantly on the dashboard, it looks like this



I haven't got the manual and haynes doesn't tell you what it is, can someone tell me what it is please?

Cheers
Andy

Guessing fuel filter? Pure guess though - perhaps it means water in the filter?

Cheers Trashman, I was thinking it was the washer fluid, then I filled it up and it still came on so hell knows.

Anyone have a 405 users manual they could have a quick look in please?

It's the "Water in diesel" filter light. I had this one on my old 306Dturbo.

No need to change the filter. Just drain the water from the fuel filter housing. There will be a drain tap at the bottom of the filter housing, open it, drain the water out, then re-prime the filter, job done, it won't take more than five mins.
