says it on screen from today and when i looked at level its smack on ??? ???
-
Quite common on here, seems the sensor goes AWOl, a replacement tank is usually the answer, about £30 IIRC. :y

What he ^^^^ says! :y :y If you're very lucky, you can put off replacement by removing the bottle/tank & give it a right good clean. A new bottle usually does the trick though ....... & looks nicer! ;)
-
Yeah, mine did the same thing on my way home from work yesterday. ::)
-
and mine - but mine took some coolant. Will check again tonight.
-
Coolant level was fine on mine. If you're going to put a devices in to monitor the cooling system, why make it more fragile than the system it's monitoring? ::)
;)

If you think the Omega's is fragile ....... you've not seen a Senator's or Carlton's ???. They had the switch in the cap along with a float (that didn't ::)) and the cap/level sensor was over £30 years ago.

Nope - it lost 2 inches out of tank - only done about 24 miles last 2 days since top up. Pressure test tomorrow - cannot see any leak - no oil in water.

Not to replace it, only a five minute job to do that. :y
-
New tanks look a lot better, really make engine bay look better. Like a brand new cruise stalk, it's the small touches that make a difference :y
-
the one that broke looks new :(

An old Carlton or Senator coolant tank cap makes an excellent pressure tester. :y
I cut the off the part that the float slid up and down which left a hole just the right size to fit a Schraeder valve.

An Omega's cap would be far easier to get hold of these days, & you can fit a tyre valve to it. :y :y
-
Does the valve need to be with a piece of inner tube and then sealed into the cap ,or can you just use a valve and seal it in front and back with silicone .
