blinking temperature guange symbol on dash when i start the car
I started my car on Saturday and was greeted by a blinking temperature gauge on the dashboard.
Is the car safe to drive to an auto shop or dealer?

Mine did something like that, but it was fixed with a new Cluster
The first symptom was the Temp gage went to MAX out of the blue.
Thinking it was a real reading, I pulled over and took a look for overheating evidence.
Started the car again and worked with no problem for a day, when the Tem gage begin to dance up and down.
:-(
Do you know if your intrument cluster was replaced?
All the best!

Should wrong type of cooler be used, the whole mix changes to ugly brown :-(
<center><img src="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/images/product/iadmin/4809_x200.jpg"></center><p>I remember reading that the idea of keeping it on the OEM color is for troubleshooting porpuses.
Some creative chemist came up with a formula that reacts by changing to ugly color when cross-mixed.
I don't know if a mixed coolan would underperform, but it does look crappy... (like an old rusted car's cooler mix)...
