Bloody thing!!

Every morning before work, and every night before setting off home almost. Start the car, wait a minute, red light comes on and beeps 3 - 4 times. Drive the car a hundred yards, switch the engine off then back on, all is fine.

Wtf? I'm seriously confused! Why would it keep doing this?

Mine did this a few times,turns out it was due to being parked on a slope so the water level was being read wrong and thought I had no water in, have you checked that?

Trying desperately to avoid another multi page thread monster :)

Try scraping the metal prongs inside the coolant bottle with a flat bladed screwdriver - worked for loads of people here, including me - been over a month now. A glorious, beep free month.
