hi guyz me again -

ive noticed tonite that the coolant light came on a couple of times for only a couple of seconds and then went back off, it's not on constant and only came on twice .. i think i was going up hill the 2nd time -

ive recently replaced the rad and topped up with coolant etc - the temp of the car is great no signs of over heating

doya think i'm just being paranoid??? would you guyz be para or would you just forget it

Mines comes on and off all the time. I think it has a dicky wire somewhere because it seems to flash on and off as i go over bumps.

Temp is fine on mine too.

yeah could be - topped it up with fluid and checked for leaks but nothing so i'm gonna take it for a blow out tomorrow and see if the light comes on after a bit - think it's me just being a para cat thou

whilst looking under the car i did notice a pipe - strange thing is i have never noticed it before - it goes to no were and connects up to the looks like the coolant system. maybe an air intake

When the coolant low light comes on and is working properly, it means you need to stick at least 2 litres in pronto and bleed your heating system because it will be dry. If that's not the case, i'd definitely go with a dodgy sensor

hi dude

as i say it only came on twice for a couple of seconds, drove about five miles after i topped up and never came on

so it could just of been a glitch but something to watch out for i think - better keep a 2 liter bottle of the stuff in the boot

cheers
