    Coolant light on, water level fine

    Hi,

    I have a 99 V70 T5. I've given it a service, decided to take the cam belt cover off to look at the belt. Gently placed the expansion tank and ps reservoir out of the way to gain access. Now I have a coolant light on! Water level is fine. Think I will replace the expansion tank. I assume they are'nt supplied with the appropriate sensors? I believe I have disturbed something when I moved the tank.

    the sensor itself should just pull out the bottom, so just replace that

    May as well just pop over to Lakes on the A1/A428 north bound and pick one up/try one. They are good guys there, I'm sure they won't mind.
