Coolant Level message
« on: 18 August 2015, 13:15:55 »
Getting this message,  but  level fine and no leaks or mayo.

Where is the sensor for this  ? Can't  see any wires to the expansion  tank.

Thanks in advance.

The sensor is located under the coolant tank. Mine's broken too, but didn't find a new one or any info about how to remove it. There is new coolant tanks for sale with new sensors, but, if you want to save money like I did, just unconnect the sensor plug and put a jumpwire to it, so the message will go away.  :y

 Try the 'quick repair' option. Sometimes works, sometimes not.......
Make sure the coolant is cold. Take off the header tank cap, stick your finger in and waggle the float like mad for a few seconds.
Did it on my estate, and its never returned.  :y

I did that a couple of days ago, and now the ball float is bobbing around on its own, not on the stem.  ::) ;D   Looks like someone's pike fishing in the expansion tank.  ;D
Time for a new tank me thinks.  :)

Flippin 'eck Alan...you don't go at it like a bull in a china shop. My saloon gives the message after a while...a good waggle sorts it for a few hundred miles.
Yours must have been faulty, or you went at it like there was no tomorrow !!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
