I am having a issue with the temp gauge. I have been reading up about others issues but mine seems a bit different.
Here goes, So the cars been parked up for a few days and the other half drives to work on Thursday (about 3 miles). So on his way home, a mile from work, the temp gauge starts flashing so he naturally pulls over and has a look. No leaks and it's not over heating as it's been parked up whilst his been at work all day so nothing obvious. He starts the car an the temp gauge has returned to normal, not even half way at this point. Gets home fine, so thought maybe a glitch!
Today comes and the same issue but more consistent. Every time you turn the engine off it sorts itself out but 5 mins later it's flashing againcf_emoticons__BangHead:cf_emoticons__BangHead: Check
ed coolant all good, just under max! Connectors have no obvious damage.
Any help will be appreciated Thanks

all seemed OK,but after checking with a VW main dealer the 2 pin switch that screws into
the coolant bottle has an inbuilt resistance.
So changed switch with a new one no more flashing light.
