2002 NB 5 spd with 80K miles. Car has been perfect until a few days ago. Started getting intermittent coolant lamp/chime and now it's progressed to the point where lamp flashes continously and chime every 15 seconds or so.
Coolant level is fine, no codes. As soon as I turn key on, engine not started ... I noticed the fans turn on and run. Fans continue to run once car is started and never go off when engine is running (this is with engine cold or hot). I have never noticed the fans running on the car, ever until now. Also just realized AC blows hot air ...was ice cold a few days ago before this happened.
Pretty sure coolant is circulating in res. bottle as I can see pink in the plastic fitting the hose attaches to ...and it goes clear if I pinch the hose.
Stumped.
