Check coolant ?
« on: July 08, 2011, 11:27:08 am »
Hey guys after a 300 mile journey yesterday, got into my car today and she started no problems, but on the dash came up a warning "STOP" then "check coolant see owners manual" (whilst beeping),had a look at the coolant and it was fine between the min and max, turned car of the on again but this time no warning, went for a short drive stopped and started again no problems ? Was it just a 1 off or is this the start of something Waterpump ???. Car is sep 2007 gti 32000 miles

Then I'd imagine it's the sensor. A few others seem to have had the problem. Do a search and you should be able to see the threads. One of them has a part number for the sensor.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
