2002 1.2 "temp warning light"

Post by mlb »

Newbie so sorry if this is answered elsewhere.

My car has been sat for a few months and yesterday the RAC replaced the battery. As part of their roadside attendance they also checked a few other things oil and water included.

Took the car out for a trip and as I got back to the house the temp warning light came on.

Is this to be expected when a car has been off road for a little while?

Not normally

Might have a faulty coolant bottle sensor - these are quite prone to failure
