flashing coolant light - Toyota Yaris Forums

Amdkt7 · 05-16-2013, 05:58 PM

I cringed when I read the OP post about sitting for 10 minutes with the light on. If I have an over temp indication I'm shutting that thing down ASAP until I verify what is going on. It seems that the dealer mechanics cannot or will not trouble shoot anything. Just throw parts at it, in warranty or out of warranty.

My Kia got a brand new cat and some other parts before they found that a noise was actually what it sounded like (a loose bolt, with a washer rattling). I told them it was a loose bolt somewhere (from a timing belt change), but they threw parts at it for a while before they finally checked the lower timing belt cover.
