what about your warantee, an 05 should have its warantee intact, if you don't have massive mods, you should be able to take it in.

Not sure how much good it's going to do since you've probably been running low on fluid for a while now and your ACD is toast.

Evos need constant monitoring of fluids and regular maintenance to avoid situations like this.

I have read that if it is very cold out, the three lights will come on until it warms up to proper temp, than just the one you have selected will be illuminated.
