    When the light first came on I thought it was a temperature sensor not a header tank level indicator so I stopped and checked everything visually. The temperature guage was showing 90 degrees, as was the computer. Being new to the car I didn't open the header tank because I thought it was under pressure, especially since the screw thread on the cap is quite fine and takes a lot of turns to remove. I saw that water was flowing back into the header tank through the return pipe so I figured it was OK. I'll check it again tonight.

    I must admit I didn't check the header tank level :/ I have receipts for a full engine rebuild 33000 km ago so I'm fairly confident I haven't been too badly ripped off (cross fingers ) Will keep a careful eye on it though ...

    Just got home and checked the header tank water level - dead empty. So, I filled it up and hey presto, no sign of the lil flasher yet But that means that either it hasn't been topped up lately or I have a water leak :s

    I have this exact same issue with my '93 Mk3 Golf. Anyone know the cause/fix?

    Did you get this fixed in the end? What was the problem? (I have a bad petrol smell in my 93 VR6 - maybe this is why the previous owner had one of those smelly trees hanging from the rear vision mirror)

    Hiya I took the family out for a quiet drive in the country today to test out our 'new' 93 VR6. It was a successful day - I only got slapped once and punched twice for driving too fast and not slowing down for corners We drove about 50kms to the other side of Luxembourg where there's a nice little town with a castle perched on the hill overlooking the village beside the river below - very quaint. But the road there was a bit of fun. Plenty of overtaking space and some good rollercoaster bends. I was gently cruising in 5th at one point and changed down to fourth, but missed and got second! Waa
