Low coolant
« on: 27 September 2015, 18:16:18 »
The Low coolant warning has come up on the display, water level still at maximum.
I guess the sensor in the header tank has failed, anyone any idea how much one of those is?

Isn't the sensor available alone?

Not as a new part only part of the tank

Need one for mine as it's recently failed a second time... might get a shiny one for the black one and swap that one into the white one...

Or I could drive a tank over both of them... that would sort both of them :-X

Just phoned my local Vauxhall Dealership to order a new coolant expansion tank and was told £49.38. I forgot to ask if that included vat.

It was £35+vat some years ago, so £49 would not surprise me.
