Audi A3 - coolant warning puzzle

[jrlkavanagh]

Dear all

When starting up my 04 Audi A3 in very cold weather, I get the coolant warning message on the dash for a few seconds, then it disappears.

The manual says this warning means either overheating or low coolant, but neither is the case.

Has anyone else experienced this, and do you know what it means?

Many thanks

Hi AAT1981

Do you know what I should look for to see if my Audi has the same problem as yours had? It's also under a used car warranty, but not for long, so would be very helpful to know.

I guess it might be just a question of watching the coolant level?


Thanks
