Water temp light on dash?
Is it normal for the BLUE water temp sensor light to come on and stay on for the first few minutes after starting the car? Mine does this, I filled the coolant with about 8oz of water so it was not low. Light goes off after a few miles of driving.
Thanks

Yes, blue light means the car is cold. No light means optimum operating temp range and red means too hot or low on fluid. Beeping red means stop

Yes. Normal. Keep in mind the coolant's supposed to be 50/50 with distilled water. Adding JUST water will throw off the ratio. And I surely hope what you'd added WAS distilled, or you'll have rust in the long term.
