The sensor in the coolant bottle (header Tank) doesn't come out.

To get a new sensor you need to buy a new or known good tank

A new tank will set you back £25.66 + VAT

Snapped quite a few, TB has better luck removing them than i do. Trick is to wiggle it.

Worth doing as scrappy near me you can wonder around for free, and pop the odd sensor in your pocket.  :D

yea they come out but what i done was court pcb thing and sliped sidways and shaped it as it came out

robing vx will only sell it with tank

so done me for neally 34 quid

lets just hope that fix the leak this time i knew it was leaking

but thort i was losing to much coolant for it to be just that

but when i pulled tank out was well wet underneath it
hbv had poped already so new one still ok

I suppose you could get it out in one piece. Then it would probably leak, or not work. all to save 30 quid.

They do (unofficially) plug out, though its critical you pull them out straight, else you'll snap pcb.

About 1/3 the ones I've pulled out (in one piece!) have had dry joints on either the reed switch or on the connector. Rest have been knackered switches.

Last tank I bought was £24 + VAT, and looks better than the manky older ones, so thats the route I'd recommend if you snap the switch ;D

You are of course entitled to your opinion. Hell, you may even be right. Or you could be wrong.

You have the right to agree or disagree with any post, but please try to do so in a more constructive way. Cheers :y

ok i confess :-[ :-[ :-[ your right about dry joint

i got it out saw the dry joint and it had a crack in pcb so i soldered  it

went out side with it dropped and  spent 10 min looking for it . then found it by putting a size 11 on it
