Check your coolant level in the radiator when the engine is COLD. If it is low, add more. Also check and add as needed in the reservoir to the specified level. If these are full, then you have a bad water level sensor that will need replacement. This is a plug in the top of the radiator with a wire coming out of it. It acts much like a door switch that turns on the light when you open the door, only where the door switch is a momentary contact operated by a spring, the sensor in the radiator reads continuity based on the water level in the radiator tank. When there is no fluid, there is no continuity and the light comes on.

Hope this helps,

1999 VW Cabrio dash light

Obviously it's temperature gauge light. Check for coolant level first. Then check for coolant leak. If coolant is leaking out of your car, the lower coolant levels in your engine will cause it to overheat. If you have your heater on and it starts blowing hot air instead of cool, your engine is low on coolant. This will cause to flash a warning light on your car's dashboard.

The little red water level gauge stays on

The red square shaped warning dash light is an image of a crudely drawn radiator indicating that you are low on coolant. Topping up your coolant bottle reservoir located on the passenger side above the wheel should clear up your issue. If your coolant level is full and is still indicating low coolant via dash warning light, you could possibly have a sensor out in the radiator or air bubbles in your coolant lines that need to be bled out.

My 2001 VW Polo oil pressure warning light comes on regularly after driving for approx 8 miles - oil level & pressure both appear to be ok and water level too. Oil sensors replaced but to no avail....

Have you checked your thermostat. Some cars do not have gauges for all componants of the car located on the dash board. A bad thermostat could drive the oil pressure gauge up, if there is not a coolant level gauge on the dash board.

I GOT A 2002 MADZA TRIBUTE THERE A A LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD THE SHAPE OF A HOUSE i DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS MEAN

I think the warning light is meant to be in the shape of a radiator - check your coolant level - it generally means your coolant is low. The coolant level sensor often fails on Mazda's however, so your 'problem' might actually be a dodgy sensor not a lack of coolant at all.
Hope this helps, Sherwin

1993 ecilpse Amber warning light lite on dash

This light represents the coolant level. If your coolant level sensor detects a lack of coolant, it will come on. I would advise filling your car to the proper level and also have a mechanic inspect your cooling system to find out why your coolant level dropped.

Good luck!
