Subject:flashing coolant light
From:Jenny Loerzel

Hi All,

My '87 Westy is giving a bit of trouble and I am hoping for some help
determining the problem.  When I warm her up at the start of the day, her
coolant light comes on after a couple of minutes.  If I turn off the engine
and restart her, sometimes the light will stay off.  This just started a
couple of days ago.  Today while driving to work, the gauge kept creeping up
until it was almost to the top then the light came on.  I shut her down and
restarted.  The gauge went down to normal and the light remained off.  I
just had the heads replaced two months ago along with a new radiator, and
thermostat.  Any ideas?  When I check it, the coolant level is fine.
Thanks in advance for any help.
