I had a T-fitting on the washer line crack and pop loose; all my washer fluid was just spraying under the hood instead of cleaning my windows.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all
recently bought myself a 1997 carrera 996 with 63000 miles on it, it cam with all literature serv hist etc APART from the owners/drivers manual.
Problem i have is there is a warning lamp on dash (amber) with like a Y coming out of it and water in bottom , can anyone tell me what this one is please, will try and attach a rough drawing of it
cheers
Ha ha thanks for the welcome, there is some great info on this site.
Now then anyone have a drivers manual for they can refer to and tell what my warning lamp is then?? in anticipation, thanks
Hector,
First off.... Welcome to Rennlist.
As for the symbol, I think that is the dreaded "coolant leaking into your oil pan" symbol! Also called coolant/oil intermix!
NO, NO, I am just kidding!
That was a mean thing for me to do. Sorry, but I couldn't help myself.
Seriously, I can't think of what that symbol is or what it means.
Toronto,
Why would his Porsche be indicating that an Audi, located somewhere in the world, has low washer fluid?
Oh wait...... now I get it!
Seriously, good find!
Hawaii's vehicle registration department has for a long time labelled cars sold before the new year as the same year they are sold in. Which would mean if a 98 996 were sold before the first of the year then it would have 1997 stamped on it's registration. Then who knows what typo's our wonderful world can supply us with.
That's it -
Warning light
The warning lights in the instrument panel and
on-board computer light when approximately
0.5 liter is left in the reservoir.
14 1997 996's went to Brazil for some reason and on record, they were the first off the line and sold other then pre-production / test units. All other 996's have 98 and up VIN numbers.
Hi all thanks for the replies
firstly yea they did start on 1997 here in the UK
secondly i have the washer container topped right up so dont think its that, as for my drawing my hands were busy typing so I got my pet terrier to draw that quality piccy!!
So after all that I am none the wiser, the symbol is right next to the airbag symbol if that helps
I had a T-fitting on the washer line crack and pop loose; all my washer fluid was just spraying under the hood instead of cleaning my windows. I can't recall if it gave that indication or not, but boy was my battery clean!
