mylo_chan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi All for the past few weeks, the "STOP" light and the "coolant temperature indicator" repeatedly goes on and off whilst driving. i havent noticed a change with its drive but i have noticed that it takes a long long time to heat the car up now. can anyone please advise? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harestone Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Dodgy thermostat maybe, and have you checked the coolant level. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frededwards Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I would suspect that the thermostat has failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylo_chan Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 if the coolant level is the grid like the petrol then that goes up and down as you drive. do you think this is costly to cure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
