Took the Rallye for a drive through some country roads and this light flashed up and then went off. Car feels fine just wanted to know what it was.





Not the clearest pictures in the world but it's a car skidding. Was on a straight road when it flashed though Dunno

Actually its to let you know you are about to skid, very advanced for the day, much like the rear self steering thing.

    I cant believe people took me seriously, how many posts and years have i been around gti6's, i have the gti6 main dealer brochure booklet showing all the dash lights, so i know what every little dash light is for LOL i posted it after another joke about the dash light.

    The hint is at the end of the sentence, like the rear wheel steering thing, that sounded really technical back in the day but is a load of rubbish.

    I think you guys need to catch up a bit.
