Gee, mine too. Just noticed it after having the temp guage replaced 2
months ago, and after it sat at the airport for a week. Again, coolant
level is fine, no leaks at the head gasket, oil is clear, and engine
temperature normal. I'm close to getting out the electrical tape and
masking over the light, but will soon have time to diagnose this. My Audi
mechanic says sometimes if the coolant is too concentrated, ie not the
50/50 mix, the temp warning light will come on.
