Lights on the dash and their meanings!

Afternoon all.

1st post as just picked up a y/2000 Vito 180CDI.

It’s the 1st van I’ve owned as well as the 1st diesel. And there is a couple of question I could do with some help with.

The coil light: I seam to remember that you have to wait untill the light has gone out after turning on the ignition, before you start the van? I’m I correct in this.
I’ve sat there and waited for the light to go out and when it does, I start the van and the light comes back on, and will not shut off!! This could be me being a numb nuts, but I don’t want to screw the thing up.

The second light I have is a wheel/tire with arrows on it. Any Ideas what the hell this one is for.

Thanks in advance,

Pip

If the yellow coil light comes on after starting if means there is a 'problem' with the glow plugs. It could be that a glow plug has gone, or that the relay is faulty. I have had the same problem for nearly a year. If your engine starts fine, then my advice is to leave it alone. Trying to replace a siezed glow plug should be avoided unless you have a problem starting the car. Do you live anywhere cold?
greetings,
Christof
