Title: Coolant Level
Post by: whippit on 11 October 2010, 17:03:41

Got a strange one
Coolant level warning came on last night, level is fine.
I can reset the warning but it comes straight back on.
I am assuming its the sensor but I cant find it....any ideas?

sensor is at the bottom of the expansion tank, poke a finger in there, it may just be stuck. You can prise the sensor out of the bottom of the tank, but most do just snap off. Easy option is new header tank, they are not that expensive, think about £30 odd?

It may also be worthwhile to check the sensor plug underneath the coolant bottle hasn't come adrift? Remove the metal clip holding the bottle to the inner wing bracket & push the bottle in towards the engine by a couple of inches to release it from it's holder. :y

I hate to agree with Tunnie, but he's about right. Its either the float has stuck, or the reed switch is knackered or dry joint.

£25+vat for new bottle is easiest solution
