Hi,
I have an '03 TDI Jetta Wagon and it's doing something a little puzzling. The temp light flash and alarm (3 beeps) sounds whenever I start the car. According to the manual, the alarm is either for low coolant (it isn't) or else an overheat condition (unlikely - it happens right after starting the car). The temp gauge reads the normal 190 deg., so I've been ignoring it until my next scheduled service in about 2 weeks. The dealer agreed that as long as the gauge doesn't indicate overheating, it's safe to wait. Anyone have an idea if this is really safe or not?
Thanks,
Jerry
