[Vwdiesel] Cold weather stalling.

[Forrest L King]

means either - check your coolant level,  if the coolant level is OK,
and the temp guage is OK,  you might consider the sensor bad.  I drove
for 20k miles with that damn ligh blinking before i finally got a sensor
that would turn it off.   Don't buy your Coolant Level Sensor at the
Local AutoZone or O'reillys, theirs just don't provide the right
electrical signal, I know I tried 3 of them before breakin don and trying
an OEM one -  it turned the light off.
