Low coolant
« on: 27 September 2015, 18:16:18 »
The Low coolant warning has come up on the display, water level still at maximum.
I guess the sensor in the header tank has failed, anyone any idea how much one of those is?

Isn't the sensor available alone?

Need one for mine as it's recently failed a second time... might get a shiny one for the black one and swap that one into the white one...

Or I could drive a tank over both of them... that would sort both of them :-X

Just phoned my local Vauxhall Dealership to order a new coolant expansion tank and was told £49.38. I forgot to ask if that included vat.

It was £35+vat some years ago, so £49 would not surprise me.
