Title: Coolant level warning!
Post by: Drewomega on 27 February 2012, 13:41:53

Hi All OOFers!

My coolant level warning came on yesterday when on a dual carriageway. I stopped and had a look at level in header tank. All was ok. When I got home I checked the plug underneath the header tank and also the float inside. Everything seemed normal. Is this a normal complaint on the Omega? I have looked at other posts on here and I cannot see any answers to my question or even a fix. Thanks!!

Seem to have fixed it! I took the clip off which attaches the tank to the chassis. I removed plug from bottom of tank and cleaned both plug and socket pins then sprayed with WD40.  :y
