Another coolant light issue :)
« on: 17 July 2012, 20:33 »
Sinse ive had my golf (2 months) my coolant light would flicker on and off every now and then .. Starting from today its on as soon as i start the car from cold and even stayed on earliar after i took tge key out the ignition ???? Have done all checks and everything seems fine fans cut in ect also had a new rad no leaks ... Could it be my water pump on its way out as well ? Thanks jimmy :)

It stayed on after you took the key out? Sounds like electrical gremlins to me.
