I'm jealous, looking at these nice VR6's i'm very tempted to buy one - They are a special car.

haha I thought the same!!

Mint VR6 mate. That's an epic score for a young'n. I remember looking back for one several years ago but they were way out of reach for a 16 year old back then

And after 2 weeks of ownership, I'm starting to have a problem

Driving back home tonight from a mate's place in Auburn, the coolant temperature light started flashing on the M5 which worried the crap out of me, but the temperature gauge was hovering at 90 degrees (normal) which really confused me.. Pulled over and popped the hood, and my god was the engine hot Left it sitting there for a bit to cool down while we opened the coolant lid and let some pressure out, before we decided sack it, leave it here and get it checked on Monday..

Checked in the manual which said if the light is flashing but gauge is normal, the coolant is low and should be filled up, but it was pretty much full when we popped the hood so I'm confused! I've built up a theory that the gauge has carked it and that's why it was showing normal temperatures.. Wait and see I guess Any ideas?

Busted waterpump?? No idea sorry.

Paging one of our many forum mechanics, please report to this thread!

Could be just a busted sensor in the coolant bottle. If ur temp is fine and ur coolant is full then u need a new sensor (which is a new coolant bottle).

This just means your coolant level is low, or as mentioned, that the coolant level sensor is playing up.

Make sure you check the coolant level when the car is cold and preferably on level ground - ie: first thing in the morning.

If it's only just started, most likely it just needs a top up.

Strangely enough, we checked it on the night and again yesterday morning and it was full to the brim, so we drove it over to Bondi Junction to our mechanic and left it there.. Probably getting the heater core and dud handbrake sensor fixed at the same time, and then start looking at some basic cosmetic mods (clear indicators, Euro lip and black VW badges )
