Red light and Beeping.

[CupraCal]

Hi, will probs end up in the scrap yard but anyhoo....

I’ve been starting the car up (Leon FR 05) and where the thermostat is a red light will come up and beep for a few seconds and then the light will flash, wont stop. Just wondering what this would be? Is the thermostat broken? If i turn off and turn the car back on it will go away..

Any ideas would be greatly received.

Try scraping the prongs in the coolant tank, see if that stops it.

My Leon does this too, more when the temperature is cooler. Eg with the current warm weather it hasnt happened for a while.

Iv just checked my coolant, the prongs are fine, and its nowhere near the min line. (probably half a tank)
I cant however see a max line, can i fill the bottle 3/4 full and see if this fixes the problem?
Thanks, Jamie
