Coolant Level Check
« on: 14 October 2011, 18:53:12 »
Hi everyone,
I'm getting the above message up on the display.

Looked in the tank and sure enough needed topping up.

Not having any effect, however.
Anyone can tell me why it's refusing to clear with coolant up to the line?

Possibly faulty float switch in the header tank

The header tank no longer comes with the sensor as standard. Its now 2 seperate parts. You can buy the sensor on its own now saving a few quid...

Do you have part numbers?

there was always 2 tank options, 1 with, 1 without sensor.
Never seen the sensor available on its own.
Often near impossible to remove the old one as well.

From EPC.....it doesnt seem to be available to buy: listed as non serviced and has no part number.
