Hi Nick,
The red light normally indiactes low or excessive pressure - it should not be on under normal running.
With the ignition on and the engine not running the red light is normally on - it shoukld go off a few secods after the engined is started. The previous Post that mentioned the alternator, if the fault was connected with the alternator, other wrning lights will noramlly be on. If you have a red warning light you normally have a green one as
well ( indiactes the turbo is working prescribed limits) which usually remains on while driving the vehicle. It may go off on a long down
hill run but the red light should not come on.
I would suggest that you fit a
test guage to the turbo cross over pipe and take the vehickle for a run and compare the pressures against the data in the work
shop mannual.
