Morning - took my 1.6 FSI for a 200 mile round trip over the weekend with mostly motorway miles. The car almost exclusively does short runs in town.
The morning of the second day, what I think is the coolant level warning light came on on cold start. I added some water the to the expansion tank and the light went out and the car ran perfectly on the return trip with the temp holding steady right at 90 as it always does.
I have no problems with the engine in 5 years - other than the oxygen senor issue common to the FSI.
After cooling down back at home the light came back on the next time I started it but went out after ~5 mins of running.
Any pointers here on where to get started appreciated - I realise it could be a leak (head gasket or rad) or the sensor - but if the hive mind has shares experience with this one I would appreciate it
Cheers
