My yellow VDO light in the center of the dash has started to flash. I don't have the original owners manual. Does anyone have a clue what this means on a 1985 325e?

Thanks,

Russ

I pulled my manual from my 87 325e and reproduced below is the section relevant to the warning light.

"when the car is being driven, any malfunction of the monitored systems are indicated by the central warning light beginning to flash. At the same time, all the Check Control inscriptions will light up and warning lights for the faulty systems. When the test key is pressed, all the warning lights will come on, but when released only those with a genuine system malfunction will remain on, and the central warning light will go out. If the engine oil level is too low, this indication remains stored in the Check Control until oil is added...'

Hope this helps

Jack
