Re: Temp Warning Light
No, I have a small LED-like display in the center of my dash with
numerous indications, the red "low coolant level signal has come on
previously, but after refilling the reservoir, this died again. The
warning I am talking about is a yellow pictures representing a radiator
with steam boiling out of it.

Re: Temp Warning Light
Andre,
You might find that the yellow warning you are describing is actually the
windshield washer reservoir tank sensor saying that you're low. I once
coasted off a highway and let my car cool down - I was about to call a tow
truck when I read what the warning was in the Owner's Manual (hint...hint).
Cheers!

Re: Temp Warning Light
Thanks Steve
Some one else also told me that and he turned out to be right.
Regarding the manual, I bought the car about three months ago obviously
without a manual. I did contact Audi South Africa for a replacement
manual,but (unlike BMW who gave me a manual for my '90 model car), the
salesman bursted out laughing and told me there was no way I would get
a manual for a car that's ten years old!
So without an owners manual, you guys were the next obvious choice. I
don't know about your country but here in SA there's no way that an
agent will help you with even the simplest thing if you aren't willing
to spend a fortune on services and repair.
Thank very much for all your help
