I had this problem too, and like an annoying ex, I just ignored it till it stopped trying to bother me.  I had this a few times, only when it was really cold in the morning.  I checked the coolant, all seemed fine.  When i restarted the car, I cleared itself.  When I get this now, i just run the car for a min, kill the engine and then restart it.  Seems to solve the problem.

It only happened a few times and when it was really cold though - so beware if it happens on a warm day with a hot engine.

Mine has been doing it all week!! :angry: Really annoying now. Does the sensor pick up on too much coolant then? could be the really cold mornings making coolant expand and metals shrink therefore making too much coolant in the header?? (or is that just stupid) :nerd:

    The car has never done it before and doesnt do it any other times in the day, Just after it has stood over night.
