Not in my ownership - and I've had it about 7 years.
The mystery continues....as does the beeping....

Thanks Ronin - that sorted that issue!
Coolant level warning remains.....

Is it possible that this is something to do with the coolant temp sensor at the back of the engine?
Rather than the one at the bottom of the expansion tank?

Sadly I don't have one.
Anyone in Hertfordshire on here with a VCDS? Thanks

Important to remember that the sensor has two separate parts to it, one feeds the dash display, the other the ECUs. So it can (and will) show a normal temperature as well as cause problems. Tip: If you do replace it buy the o-ring seal and retaining clip as well!

You may actually have a cluster failure. Its rare but not unheard of. Next step if it were in the workshop would be to pull the cluster and locate T32b/18 and ground it right at the cluster. Dismantle the connector & find a spare pin and a bit of thin wire and just remove pin 18 and replace it with the spare. Ground the bit of wire and see what it does. If the warning goes away you have a wiring issue between the cluster and the tank. If the warning doesn't go away you likely have a dry joint in the cluster itself which would require professional assistance to solve.
