carrots 1 Posted November 16, 2011 ive got a problem with the coolant light flashing on my 1.8 16v.i thought i had sorted the prob in the past by taking the expasion tank off and washing it out with gunk,this was due to a faulty oil cooler leaking oil into the water.the tank is nice and clean and antifreeze is very clean .its doing my head in flashing.any ideas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rams 0 Posted November 16, 2011 Check the wiring and clean out the terminals that connect to the expansion tank. Had that on my golf once upon a time and that sorted the issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
