Hi there
I have just purchased a 2001 2.0TD Grand Vitara. Just started the car and the engine overheat light has come on, full and solid. I have turned the engine off, started it again and the light is off..
I have driven around on the motorway, temp gauge remains at about a third, no fan noise, interior heaters are working ok, no light on. Stop at the shops and park on a slight incline. When I start the car again, the light is on....
I almost thought it was the water level but that checks out, so my gut is suggesting a sensor is a-miss... What do you guys think? The light comes on even when the engine is cold.. hence me thinking it points to a sensor.
Any ideas?? Bit downhearted at the min, as everything else is perfect, I love the car, just this light is a bit of a downer...
Thanks in advance for your help
Duncan
