Hey guys, As the title suggests, I have a small question. I've been checking around but couldn't find anything on it. Does anyone have any idea what is the purpose of this indicator (that light bar thingy on the right)?

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile

Aha!!! Thanks man. That was kinda my guess but I wasn't that sure. Well seems my oil is on the low side after 4k Km... I wonder if that mechanic filled it up properly or if that bloody car burns oil. Gonna have to keep an eye on it.

The dip stick is the best guide! Check when cold. The oil level sensors aren't that accurate.

Yeah, of course I checked the dipstik and it seems the oil level is low (bellow half). The sensor thingy made me take a look, cause usually it was always on top and this time the gauge was siting on the red light area.

Got the car a 3 weeks ago or so and didn't notice any leaks or weird smokes coming out of the exhaust... weird. It has though a s**t ton of kilometers on it. Around 239k.

Based on the booklet the car did 4k km since the last oil change. I was planning to service it anyway when I am gonna get my paycheck.

Picture taken when the engine was completely cold. If hot it goes way over the middle.
