Cold start issue?

[Marvin Bol]

Hello Z - friends,

I’m now almost a year owner of an E85 3.0i from 2003 with 78.000km. Since a few weeks when I start the car in the morning it will start fine, but after a couple of seconds it wil falfunction and these two warning lights will turn on.

When I start the engine again, it’s running like nothing happened. The garage advised me to replace the “air bellows” (lucht balg), but issue is still there.

Who can advise me?

Thank you in advance!
Marvin

Hi Marvin,

I had the same lights when I first got my 2004 zed. I replaced the two pressure sensors on the master cylinder, they're only £10 each on eBay, that was almost a year ago and the lights haven't come back on yet!

Best of luck with yours!

Nharris89 thanks for your quick reply!

To avoid misunderstanding do you mean the ABS pressure sensors?

Best regards
