In my 1982 Golf C, which I recently received, the LED is blinking for appr 5 min before it stops. Otherwise, the instrument is working normal, and the temperature seems to stabilize at normal level.
What can be the exploitation?

the level sensor relay could be the cause on yours richard, sometimes the level sensors allow water to leak out thru the pins which then wicks up the wires and corrodes the relay. to rule the relay and sensor out just pull the relay that'll disable the level warning system entirely, if problem is solved look at that, if not look at sensor, wiring and earthing
Thank you, I'll give it a try when it comes out of its winter hibernation.

Also in my case, the problem only occurs occasionally. Meanwhile I've been adding more coolant to the system, in case this may have been a reason to trigger the LED, and even inconclusive, it hasn't been blinking for some days now, which could indicate the presence of a level sensor (be aware this is the mighty 1,5 liter Golf C ).
The last couple of days however, I've been puzzled by the temperature level being reduced dramatically after the engine has reached normal level. In other words, first up to normal working level, then dropping back to minimum or beyond (all this according to the gauge). I'm currently driving around in Oslo, Norway, experiencing around zero degrees or right below, and the heating system are working OK even when the gauge starts to display low engine temp.

if your temp gauge falls below half when driving this means your thermostat is missing or stuck open, easy fix
