Temp sender unit
« on: 26 November 2018, 21:30:40 »

I replaced this on mine a short while ago[along with thermostat and coolant temp sensor]foolishly I didn't particularly note how far the old one protruded from the coolant bridge,but from what I can make out from the few pictures of that area I've seen on here it doesn't seem as though mine is now screwed in far enough-although it went tight and I didn't want to force it.If it's not screwed in far enough would this allow coolant to escape around the threads?Reason I ask is that when the car is stood-even for days at a time-the coolant level remains constant[as near as I can tell]where after it has been driven the coolant level will drop quite significantly even after only a few miles.I can't see any coolant dripping off the engine onto the floor,HBV is bone dry,radiator is new and definitely not leaking.Any ideas?

If not bled correctly, it can take a couple of litres to top up as the system self bleeds ;)

I did bleed it using the method I've read on here-although that doesn't mean I still got it right :D-will take it for a short run and check again as you may well be right in it needing to settle properly.Interior carpets are dry so I think I can rule out heater matrix issues.
