when I start my Asseto - even after waiting for all the likghts to go out, so as not to 'hot start' it - the orange engine light stays on...havent used the car since but was wondering why it might have come on. The car hasnt been used in the last 3 weeks apart from a 20 mile trip.

Appreciate the help...do i need a service? It had its annual 8 moths ago

thanks

UPDATE - light has now gone off - i did top up the oil

It's probably doing what they all do: throwing a hissy fit for no apparent reason.
A problem cured by adding more oil would - I'd expect - manifest itself in the form of a low oil pressure warning light followed shortly by an expensive-sounding grinding noise and silence immediately after.

Did anything else happen? Was there a drop in performance? Did the car cut out, or revert to "limp home" mode?
