radiator/coolant light at track
 
radiator/coolant light at track - when i'm cornering HARD it comes on for a few seconds and then turns off...also the other day i hit a pretty good pothole and it came on for a second....temp gauge looks normal and car performs fine but it worries me a little....especially b/c the light is red...lol

anybody else have this experience? coolant reservoir is up to level....

try topping it off a little
coolant level sensor may also be going bad. not too uncommon, i remember a couple threads like this

yep. mine did it. i think it was old dragger who said to put some distilled water in there. it works.

top it up

or

it could be one of the "early" coolant bottle with faulty sensor in it. it doesnt do any damage. Its just gonna flash that annoying light once in a while.

common track problem.

1 burp you cooling system.
2 make sure it is full.
3 unplug the sensor while on track. keep an eye on the temp guage
4 replace the tank.
