my mk2 polo coupe has recently been flashing the overheating light on the temp gauge after driving for about 20 mins or more. although the temp needle thing is only in the middle of the gauge.
what does this mean? is it really over heating? i checked the coolant level it its fine please help.

Also, I've seen this after the car stood a long time or the engine compartment was moist and wet after a wash.
All kind of LEDs on the dashboard went crazy then including this LED indicating overheating.
