Citroën xsara Picasso on ignition is bleeping engine fault. I'm still able to drive it but wondered if I should do stop driving it and take it to a garage. on the dash there is a k surrounded by an engine symbol.Can someone help pls.
If it is an Orange Light with what looks like a white asterix inside it, then it is the "ENgine Management Light"
Is the veicle an automatic?
If it is then it is probably a sign of a fault developing with the automatic transmission.
As said previously, get it to a dealer (or ask around your friends and find out if anyone has a "Lexia Diagnostic kit"), get them to read the fault code and reset the light.
dependant on what the fault code is you will have to decide whether to spend money on getting the problem repaired or to take the cheaper way out and sell the car whilst the light is reset.
Being an honest person you will obviously do the right thing and notify the buyer of the vehicle about the fault.
Or maybe not.
Hope that helps

firstly do the routine level checks,oil coolant,brake fluid ,but you will still have to take to dealer to have the edc read using special diognostic equipment.most likely be a simple fault ,and easily rectified,

If your user manual does not tell you, it will need to have the code read to find out what is wrong, garages charge for reading the code, but unless you get a reader yourself, only way to find out what is wrong
