BX16v Problem: Red light of whater/radiator
Hello!
I'm having a small problem in my BX 16v that start to cite:
When it arrives 160 km/h it lights me the red light of
whater/radiator in the panel.If I to slightly release the pedal of
the accelerator, the light disappears. This recently happened me when
it arrived the 120 Km/h, and when i had replaced the thermostat for a new one, the light never lighted anymore.However passed some days, it came back to light again, but now at 160Km/h. The temperature of the engine is normal, and the engine does not lost any whater. Anyone knows whats the reason why it happens??? Sorry my english...

Yes, the whater level is OK.
It's strange... [:(]

Have you checked the radiator water level? I had the same problem on my ZX and I learned that the light comes on if you have a low water level even if the temperature is normal.

My phase 216v did the same at high revs and a new probe in the bottom of the header tank fixed it.
