BazzaS Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 My car is a TDCI 1.6 year 2010. When I start the engine from cold, after about 10 seconds I get the "bing-bong" warning chime just the once. There are no warning lights showing (they went out normally after start-up) and I've checked the obvious like doors/boot/bonnet properly closed. When I start the engine again after a drive there is no warning chime. This has happened quite recently for no apparent reason. Help - any thoughts ?

antman99 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I no longer have my Fiesta but I had a 1.6 tdci and had that exact same issue, happened 3 times in close succession, no reason at all no pattern and then never done it again in the 6 months I had it, Checked for fault codes no issues. Sorry that is no help just felt the need to say as when I asked nobody had heard of it before, Ford done the usual thing of offering a fault code read for £80 or whatever it is.

ianincheshire Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I wondered whether it could be coolant level just slightly low, that would explain why it only happens when cold. Although I would have expected a warning light as well as the chime!. I had a similar problem with a rental car in Portugal a few years ago, always chimed when started from cold thereafter it was fine. After 2 or 3 days it got annoying so I added about 100ml of water to the header tank, fixed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaS Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Ian Thanks for this - however coolant level is OK. Regards Bazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
