........make sure you get the correct one......the GLS doesnt have the sensor  

And so isn't going to complain of low coolant!

It will if you don't bridge the plug

 :-?  :-?  :-?  :-? If the GLS doesn't have the sensor, then surely it won't have the plug or the electrical gubbins to tell it's display there isn't enough coolant ....  :-/
I wouldn't know about lower spec acrs though

Hi just read thread I have a 2000 W plate 2.2 omega CDX which has the check coolant level message on the display although the header tank is full. The temp gauge raises to about 90'c then stays there. The temp is usually around 80'c. I cannot see any wires around/ under header tank. Any help appreciated need car fixed urgently.

.....Any help appreciated need car fixed urgently.

It's only a message! If your level is OK & the temp is OK then your car is still perfectly drivable.
If you're getting the message, then there MUST be a connection on the bottom of the header tank. Have you removed it from the inner wing & had a look? You don't need to remove any hoses to check. There's a clip holding the tank on at the inner wing, remove it & slide the tank towards the engine & then it''ll come away from its bracket. If it's still connected & all connections are good, then you possibly need a new header tank because the switch is integral to it. Around £35 from Vauxhall

Will this fix the slightly higher temp reading. Gauge normally sits around 80'c but currently rises to 90'c since message came up.

nice new tank, looks lovely with sparkly red antifreeze

90^o sounds about right to me  :-/

[boothy2010]

So for some reason the gauge has actually been reading low. I'll remove header to locate sensor and bridge wiring with a paper clip to test.
Many thanks.
