Coolant autocheck

["Nate Stuart" <nathan.stuart@maine.edu>]

Started displaying the coolant symbol constantly while driving. Does this do
anything more that simply tell you that the fluid is low in the reservoir? I
may have broken a wire when I was doing an unscheduled radiator swap the
other day. The warning light never came on for the first day and a half,
then as I was leaving work today it came on within a minute of driving and
stays on constantly now, what gives?? There is plenty of coolant in the
reservoir and the car isn't even close to overheating.

Can anyone tell me if the switch that senses the coolant level is N.O. or
N.C. b/c if its N.O. then I wouldn't have the error with a broken wire....

TIA!

BTW if your rad. is even starting to show signs of age (crumbling in your
fingers as mine was) replace it NOW! I went through two days of audi hell
before I finally could change it, even then I could only put a 'better' used
one in. Grrrrrr, college is killin' me, and my car..... :-(
