Temperature warning light coming on
on my 1992 Volkswagen Golf GTI 8V 2E motor,
the temperature warning light comes on at odd times though the actual temperature gauge shows a normal reading and the coolent level is within the min and the max level. Please advise.
Could it be sensors or thermostat or coolent bottle cap.
The thermostat will show what the guage shows. the seal on the coolent bottle can be checked for tightness. so it could be a faulty sensor?
The temperature warning sensor must be leaking slightly or is shorting .inspect the switch and replace if need be.
Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5929960-s_thermostat . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.
