Does anyone know what it means. I can't remember and I don't have a manual.

It's a Seat Leon, but it's quite a universal symbol so hoping someone can tell me. Came on last night....

I'd make the thread for the attention of all plumbers.




I have seen the light your refering to, im pretty sure it's something to do with the engine coolant although i could be wrong.

Management light, ask on the seat forums you might be able to flash a code out of it if the management is anything like the motronic used on most vauxhalls.

On a calibra for example, you stick a paper clip in a couple of pins and turn the ignition on and it will flash a code at you that tells you WHY the light is on.

Looks a bit like an industrial tap on a large diameter water pipe or similar as opposed to a household tap like most people were thinking I guess.

It certainly looks NOTHING like a computer
