coolant warning light

[rachelp]

hi

 

when I start my A3 and its below 5 degrees outside I get the temperature warning light on. clearly the vehicle is not running too hot as this is the first use of the day. I've checked the coolant levels and they are at the maximum level so appears this isn't the problem either. This warning light does not come on when the outside temp is about roughly 8 degrees... any ideas?

HI and welcome!

 

Are you sure this is not simply an ice warning when it is below a certain temperature??

 

Sounds like it is to me
