The blinking ecl might mean a misfiring plug or bad coil (look for engine shake) ... the triangle with a circle means "worry about this" ... you can take your car to many auto parts stores .. they will check your computer (usually free) .. that should narrow down what is causing the fault ... it could be anything that is monitored by the computer ..the oxygen sensor is a common failure also cracked or leaking vacuum hoses have caused all kinds of troubles .. .. even an air leak in the gas cap seal will flag a trouble code .. so the first thing to do is get that diagnostic test done and hope its a cheap part that you can replace yourself ....

I have a audi a4 2.4 2000 avant. a orange light came on . triangle with circle around it and this ! in the middle of it. please help

Yellow circle, with triangle and exclamation mark – The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) dashboard light flashes if the ESP or traction control is activated whilst driving. If ESP or traction control has been switched off, it will light up continuously. If ESP or traction control is not turned off and the warning light illuminates continuously, it indicates a problem and malfunction with either ESP or traction control.

Bmw 2002 330i dashboard light circle with exclaimation mark inside circle next to P for oar, D for Drive, R for Reverse. N for neitral, all have circle with explaimation pointt

P is for PROBLEM
This will require putting ontoa scanner to read the codes.
Could be oil, oil level, oil level sensor, speed sensor etc.
No guessing, just testing and a scan comes first.
You can get a mobile guy or pop into your local garage and ask if its summat they can do.

Flashing yellow exclaimation with a circle around it

Check Transmission indicator. It means that PCM has detected a problem in the transmission, It should have a trouble code stored in memory now that can be retrieved with a scan tool.
