Hi Guys

 

Took car have it alarm fitted today and while it was there coolant warning light started flashing checked water level and every thing alright check see if there was water in oil just in case head gasket was gone could it be the sensor that blow as ive got a temperature reading and fans working.

is the coolant warning light the red one by temp gauge?? :cry:

yeah its read and next to the oil pressure light, try topping it up a little from cold.

 

a new header tank is only a few quid so change it if it fails

make sure the coolant isnt overfull as this can also cause this,

[bighairymuppet 0]

oh and if it is is too full you can remove the coolant using one of those drinks bottles with the sooky valve thingy. open valve squeeze air out put in water let go o squeee sides til sooks up close valve and take it out. squirt some back in if you take too much out.

The above scentence rings alarm bells! (excuse the pun) - It looks more than likely the alarm installation is causing the problem - too much of a coincidence!!

I'll take it back to the alarm place on Wednesday wonder why the alarm setting of the warning light :(

Mine started to do the same SNAP. When it is cold it will come on. When It is hot it does not come on. When it is cold and has come on, turn of the engine for a few seconds and re-start. it should go off. if it does, you only need to add a little water/mix 60/40%. If it still comes on when it has warmed up and the temp rises to 110 C+ then suspect faulty thermastat/reader/sender.

 

Hope this helps.
