flashing light

[GTWHOA]

hey all,

OK heres my problem, im getting the flashing radiator/fan pic coming up. The hand book says its a low coolant level warning but the coolant is topped up. the fans are working fine and the car is running at normal opperating temps.

any ideas appreciated.

Sounds like the float on the sensor in the header tank has packed it in.

hey mate...unplug the sensor spray a bit of wd40 and blow both ends out...may not be ur prob but this worked with mine. saves u buying a new sensor if thats all it was

thanks for the replies. where abouts is this sensor located?

Its in the side of the coolant tank.
On the side of the plastic tank will be a round protrusion with two wires coming out of it, this is the coolant sensor.
It screws out but I think you need a special tool to undo it as they can be very tight.
If your coolant tank is dirty it may be easier to freshen it up with a new tank and sender.
They are on e-bay for $90.

There is no switch on the coolant bottle, Eb V8 with the problem and ED 6 cyl without any switch in coolant Bottle, So Where is Switch everyone says bottle although its not!!! Where? Where?

Its not the low water for the washer bottle is it? Au series 2 and greater did not have a sensor on the header tank

Its the Radiator with fan inside warning light, I'm pretty sure it is the low water, although has plenty of water, and EB V8 has no switch in header tank, so where is the switch? I have an ED 6 too with no switch in header tank, must be a switch somewhere, need to know soon, any help??
