Inspection question?

[quixzole]

A smal clock apears on my inspection display......what does it mean?
The car is `95 318ti with 67K miles on it.

[1996 328ti]

A small clock?
You have green, yellow and red LEDs.
Then there is also Oil and Inspection Service.

Yes a smal clock over the oil inspection leds.........any idea? :?: :rolleyes:

Time to replace the engine with a 3.2 perhaps???

I heard somewhere that the little clock means - Time to change the brake fluid. Also, that this feature isn't, at least not on Federal cars. If it's the brake fluid thing, I seem to remember that resetting the service lights resets this also.

Or maybe it's an urban legend for the gullible.

Yeah. And you already changed your brake fluid for the sixth time anyway, right? :D

Jim:

My car doesn't do this, I just heard somewhere...

Still, a few seconds and a paper clip would rule it out.

Mine has not either. I do see the 'clock' light available, like the small red dot which is supposed to come on when the cluster has been changed...

I have no idea what it is for. Ask the dealer.
