i'm using maxlife and my clocks on 197477! still going strong. mine does use oil about 250ml every 90 mile but i do thrash it everywhere so it will burn oil...

After doing various bits and bobs on the car yesterday I had this light flashing constantly, went back under bonnet and checked fiddled with the wires on the rad and the one on the top of the tank, and problem went away (although I'm gonna find out which wires loose one day)

must be a vw thing. mine does it as well. Thinking of replacing my water and washer resies with polished alli ones anyway so I'll replace the switch then. As long as the car has water and the temp gauge is reading good don't worry much about it.

Bloomin annoying thou! My rev gage gives it some aswell.

Thou the mk1 temp lite does my nut in so jus think - it cud be worse!

I had the flashing light problem on my Mk2,
Make sure your're not loosing water
then put a post-it note over the flashing area.
You will never have to look at it again
(helps if you like the colour yellow)
