so on my cluster i have the vdo light flashing constantly.

I believe its for the temperature sensor.
I just don't quite understand what to do because the light is irritating me while driving and i don't know how to get rid of this little problem.

thank you for your time

Take cluster out, remove bulb, reinstall cluster...

[sirmaxwell]

don't want to do that.
i'm more like if there is a problem i want it fixed the correct way. instead of doing something that isn't really kosher.
they put these things for a reason into the car.

any other advice on what it might be?

have you tried doing a stomp test? where you turn on the key and stomp the gas pedal to the floor 5 times and then read the codes? Or is your car pre 1987? If you do the test, write down the flashes of the light and then search for it on these forums... These little cars are pretty good at telling you what is wrong with them.
Good luck

My car is an 84 325e so no i can't do the stomp test.
I thought it might be the coolant sensor going faulty but i tried to google the internet to solve this problem but no luck

yes, the light is right in the middle of the cluster it says vdo and it flashes bright orange. i'll take a picture when i get back from the trip i am to show you guys or even better a video which shows that god damn problem

[JasonC]

Dont that light, light up when a light is on in your overhead check panel?

I still stand by my original post, and the issue with idiot lights.

replace the VDO before you do damage to it
