Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI engine coolant light?

[SmexyGirly 10]

Hi there my car needs looking at its a seat ibiza 1.9 tdi sport and the temperature coolant light is constantly flashing even though the engine temperature is fine. Ive been told its a faulty sensor as the car drives perfect except for a annoying flashing red light on the dashboard.

Is there anywhere i can take the car to to have it fixed dont want to be throwing money if the problem isnt going to be rectified.

 

Thanks

More than likely a coolant temp sensor, common occurance on these.

 

You can get them from Euro Car Parts for about £10, and they are not difficult to fit if your b/f / Dad is reasonably handy with some spanners.

Have you checked the obvious, is the level of the coolant OK?

Ive been told the solder joints in the dashboard have become dry so they need resoldering anyone know who can do this?

The coolant sensor is a very common fault on those cars and cost less then £10 to buy, its a 5 minutes job to replace, why dont you change that first and see
