hey, i have a 2000 model 306 with a gti kit on it, i got a new exhaust fitted about 3 weeks ago and on the way out of the garage a red stop sign came on, and went off, later that day i got home and turned the car off and back on again, the temp was right up in the 100's but the 2 fans at the front didnt come on, i read that they were supposed to come on at 97degrees, also a closer inspeaction revealed that my radiator had a hole in it, so my radiator and my fans got replaced. the problem still presists though im not sure why.

on the front of my engine they is a plug and when i remove this the stop light goes off, i dont want to drive the car incase i damage it anymore, so basically i need a straight answer on why its doing it, also it isnt my head gasket, i can get more info i you would need me to, the pug dealer tells me nothing apart from its some switchs, although they have been repalce too

one more thing when i bought the car about 6 months ago it came with a diesel fan, just incase it means anything...

thanks you hope you can help

Probably a bit of oil starvation. Mine did it during spirited cornering when the oil was on MIN.

It's always worth checking for air locks in the system.
