Saxo Water Warning Light

[Guest Russell1]

Hi all

 

Just reaching out for some advice as to whether anyone has some suggestions as to why this light comes on after about 30 mins of idle running?

 

I slipped up and allowed the rad to get develope a leak due to the adverse weather ( Fixed now ) but now the light comes on after approx 30 mins even though the fan kicks in and engine isn't that hot.

 

Appreciate your time especially if you've got experience of this,

Sounds like you have an air lock in the cooling system it needs to be bled up fully then tested. Also the engine should be HOT when the fan kicks in another clue to having an air lock. Look for bleed screws depending on what model you have there may be one on the top end of the rad and one on the end of the water housing {brass allen key screw me thinks} Top up the coolant to its correct level run till warm then unscrew the bleed screw and you should hear the hissing of air escaping. Carry out this procces untill you have coolant bleeding out of the bleed screw Hope this helps.....
