Water temp warning light?

[Gubien]

Hello guys!

Recently I've experienced a flashing water temp light a startup, even though my car is cold and outside temp is around -3 to +5.

I tried to find something in the service book about it, but only find something about the fan might have failed starting? Does anyone know anything about it??

Does anyone remeber if the fans starts at engine start??

It's not the temperature it's a low level warning. If the level is ok it's because it's cold and giving a false reading because the sensor is dirty. Best thing to do is get an old toothbrush, open up the header tank and give the metal prongs a scrub.
