Coolant changed, now warning light?? HELP

[matthewwoodward]

Hi Guys,
I had to change my expansion tank as the old one was leaking.
Got a brand new one from PFV.
I flushed the system 3 times with clean water and made sure it was running clean.
Installed new expansion tank, topped up system with brand new coolant and distilled water, burped it a few times to make sure levels were correct.
Thought all was fine BUT now have a red warning light on dash, look like a small engine with a fan symbol.
Any clues why I have this?

that light is for low coolant normally

You need to bleed the system properly mate not just let it burp a few times, make sure you run it with the cap off until the thermostat opens so you are getting water around the whole system and turn the heaters on full.

did you reconnect the 'level sensor' to the bottom of the bottle?
