why is the engine temp light flashing?

Featured Replies

every now and then the engine temp light starts flashing at me, even though the engine temp is fine, has anyone had the same problem? guessing it a dodgy sensor or something

not havinhg much luck with you are gt are u m8 lol i seem to rember a light flashing at me when my brake fluid was low i think!

but that might have been handbrake light

other probs i knew about apart from fuelling, i had brake light flashing on old square but just needed brakes replacing and fluid topping up. this is just temp light flashing but everything intact under bonnet and running fine its just this light appears every now and then. its just bugging me lol

Its the pressure warning light. SLOWLY release the expansion tank lid and it will hiss to fuck. If its low then fill it up to max with water.

if the level is fine it might be the level sensor inside the header tank. if that's the case then you have to replace the whole tank but they're only about £12.

jus opened lid on coolant tank and didnt hiss much but didnt seem that tight so tightened it and will see if it stops flashing

cleaned all water sensors and still doing it lol, might just take the light out....problem solved lol.

The flashing light is usually the tank sensor. I wouldnt take the light out. It flashes for a reason. One day it may save your engines life
