Coolant Warning Light

[jlawie]

Completely drained and changed my coolant at the weekend. Running fine, no overheating and bottle full...however the coolant warning light keeps coming on when i first start up.

Any suggestions???

Would an air lock cause this without it overheating???

Cheers

Scrape prongs in coolant bottle with a screwdriver and see if it sorts it. Very common problem evidently !

as above very common

Brillant. Will give it a go.

Odd that it didnt do it before though

 

[jlawie]

Seems to have done the trick!

Cheers guys!!

Does anyone have a picture of where the rads usually fail on A3s?? is it usually at the bottom cormers?
