Right, the engine temperature remains at 90°C. Despite warning.

Got it checked out. There are no bubbles. The coolant smell is also okay.

The oil temperature seems to be normal. The temperature needle stays in the middle. One more thing. The warning beep occurs 10-12 seconds after the first engine start of the day and stays while driving for about 8-10 kms. But the warning disappears after restarting the car post the 8-10 km run. I don't the sensor is acting up. But expert advices are required!

My skoda superb 1.8 tsi manual 2011 was standing for some 8 days straight. Upon trying to drive it after the brea, I encounred engine overheating light and a warning on the digital display, telling me to refer the owner's manual. (Coolant temperature! Owner's manual!) The warning comes after 10-12 seconds of starting the car. The temperature gauge needle is acting as if nothing wrong is happenimg. It gradually reaches the middle (90) and stays there. I checked the coolant and it was below the minimum level. The G12 VW longlasting coolant was not available anywhere around so I consulted Skoda's sevice center professional, who told me filling the required capacity with water would be fine. I followed his advice. However, the overheat warning light persists. AC and radiator fan seem to act normal. Also, I peeped inside the coolant section. The pink colour looks normal. I could see bubbles though (Don't know if that's normal). What can be the problem?
