Okay, who changed I D I O T to read "politician"? Jack?
I know this is not really an inline question, but since 2 or 3 former VW owners chimed in the last time..... In the past week, the idiot *ahem* or dashboard light under what is pictured as a thermometer on my '92 Golf has started blinking non-stop, within a few minutes of driving. I'm assuming this is some type of temperature warning light, but my temp gauge seems to be working just fine. Does this light serve a differant purpose than the gauge? The car has not even come close to overheating. I pulled the plug off of what I think is the water temp sender on the cylinder head, but the light did not stop blinking. It may be the oil sensor but I don't really know.
Any ideas? Yeah, I know- buy another ford escort :roll: I'm working on it. But what to do about the light?
