Coolant Warning
« on: 18 July 2010, 23:01:30 »
Just returned from my holidays today, warning coolant level showed. Coolant level OK temp gauge  OK, got me home :y.
 What do I need to do, to replace sensor, or could
there be another reason for the fault showing?

I drive 2.2 on 02 plate.

 ......

Closed when the level is OK hence the sensor can be by-passed by bridging the connector under the bottle. A nice new shiney header tank is around £30  :y
