just wondering guys, mrs's polo 9n 1.2 55bhp, with about 30k on the clock, just started up and the coolant light flicked on, under the bonnet everything seams fine, any one had this problem, and any advice please. cheers

funny you said this becase mine came on the other day. admittedly it was slightly low but didnt think that the light would come on. then it just started flashing! topped up the water and *touch wood* its ok.

Same happened to me the other day, got in, fired it up and *BEEEEEP* and the light came on. The coolant was on the MIN marker. maybe its something to do with the weather?

Happened to me once. Though how often do people have to top up their coolant? I find that every 4-5 weeks it consumes about 250ml - which results it sitting in between MAX and MIN markers (beep doesnt go off). Its not a lot of loss at all but modern engines should not lose any coolant.

anyone else have this?
