dash water temp light
« on: 27 October 2011, 08:57 »
Need a little help, my golf temperature warning light has started to come on and continually flashes when I start my engine whether the car is warm or not. Anyone know what this means or how to fix it?

You are low on water, you need to top your levels up...

Best chuck some anti freeze in there this time of year.

Check for leaks too while your there, rusty water pipes, water / pink or green residue from antifreeze on the front of engine block! Check water pipes for cracks and radiator etc didn't think dubs needed water or oil? Unless theres a problem, Mine didn't...
