Check the water level. Theres a sensor in the top of the tank and makes the light flash when the water gets to low.

I used to find this happening on my 16V. If the coolent level is a bit low on a cold engine then the light came on but as long as the level wasn't too low a bit of expansion in the fluid seemed to be enough to sort it (temporarily of course).

Just keep an eye out for leaks and overheating in the mean time.
