Hi,

Can any help? I've just brought a Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8 20VT

Every morning for the past 3 mornings when I start my car you hear a loud beep (twice) and then the light be the temperatue gauge flashes red for about 2 minutes and then stops.

The car has been 'hooked up' to computers at Seat, but they car find anything wrong.

Has anyone heard for this before?

Thanks

Mark

sounds like it could be a faulty coolant temp sensor, reasonably common

if you do a search mate you'll get all the info you need. Happens to loads of people with this cold weather...

search temperature beep, or flash beep

Mine has been doing the same also.
I just added a mere splash of water in the expansion tank and all seemed well this morning.

erm, one thing, check the cap on the expansion tank is on correctly, and that the plug for the sensor is well connected

you would be surprised how the computer operators, i mean mechanics, miss these things ;)

check you have enough coolant in the first place as could be as simple as that!!!

I had the same problem a couple of times and even though the coolant was above the minimun level (I couldnt find a max level!) I found that putting in a little more antifreeze and water sorted the problems :) ;)
