Re: Water Temp Warning Light - Oxs Sensor Warning Light

["Brian Wagner" <scirocco_88_16v@hotmail.com>]

To reset the light lift the coolant expansion tank up and you will see a 
black box with speedo cable entering and exiting and some wires. Take a 
small screwdriver and push in the little white button (viola) the lite goes 
out for another 60,000 miles.
