Josh, Do you mean the gauge on the dashboard or the sensor on the bottle? Richard -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Josh Greenberg Sent: Monday, April 07, 2003 3:17 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: flashing light on temp gauge Volks, It turned out to be caused by corrosion and build up on the contacts of the coolant sensor gauge. I bet cleaning the contacts would have fixed the problem, but I decided to replace the gauge. It hasn't acted up since. Hope This Helps, Josh 83.5 Westy http://www.joshgreenberg.com/bus.asp
