I haven't found any other forums (except maybe the concurs owners group for the C14) that are as helpful as this forum
Agreed this forum has literally saved me thousands of dollars since my purchase of this beast back in December. Without it I would've had to send my car out for diagnostics numerous times, as well as most likely paid shops to do the labor for these jobs because without the DIYs on here I wouldn't feel as comfortable digging into some of these jobs.

The warning light was gone after I installed the new battery last night. Hopefully that solved it.
Nice! And if you weren't aware you can code the battery in using carly, took just a few mins when I did it. Hopefully that clears everything up
