Incorrect. Flashing equals low coolant level. Solid means overheating. Just had this happen yesterday as I recently flushed my coolant. It burped out an air bubble as I was pulling out of the garage and it started flashing at me. Top off and all is good.

Blue is normal and just an indication that the engine is cold.

RTFM.

Gauges can be installed...check my sig. Excellent units, made by an Avionics company that also happens to be run by TDI enthusiasts. 100% made in the USA and excellent customer service. I had a question last friday night and I had an answer from the owner by 6 AM Saturday morning.
