Low coolant level fix

Hi group, I came back with a question related to a known issue - the low coolant level error. As posted already on the forum, my issue seems to be related to the flotor inside the coolant recipient and not to the sensor itself.



I took the coolant recipient off and tried to clean it as much as possible. The floating part inside is mooving freely if I turn the recipient up or down. Still, once I fill it up wit water and/or coolant, it will not float.

Also (this came up to my mind, not sure if it makes sense), I blow some air in to the recipient(while fill with fluid of course), to increase the presurre. The flotor still did not raised up.

Can you please give me some advices of what else I could try, except changing the fluid recipient with a new one?

Thanks in advance!

We know.

The float goes porous and no longer floats

That is not too encouranging. I guess the only option is to change the recipient then Sad

Correct. If you can’t get to the float.

Look on eBay

Use your old cap
