low coolant alarm coming on
Ok twice now low coolant alarm has come on whilst driving. The alarm slowly comes to life light on, stays on for a while about 20 seconds second time longer first time then goes off. No coolant loss and no temp increase with TM2.
Thinking it could be earth or something?

In the beginning there was nothing , then God said "Let there be Light".....There was still nothing , but ,by crikey, you could see it better.

After a while. We do have the usual chirping when starting but this is on constant.

Re: low coolant alarm coming on
hi haydon
mines doing the same every now and then
touch cloth scenario when your on the motorway
stays on or flickers - then goes off
I think its prob the screw getting coated etc
I have never changed it
if I send you the funds - is it possible you can send me a replacement
also - MY BUZZER - DOESNT BUZZ - no problem because it was annoying - but my led still works
was this ever reported as a problem ?
thanks

Re: low coolant alarm coming on
I would imagine that you would like this function to work properly, if its annoying its indicating that there is a fault IE lack of coolant in the header/expansion tank etc .andyb36 wrote:hi haydon

hi teemal
the alarm works fine - but only with the led
it flashes bright enough to get my attention straight away
in fairness - if the bulb went - I wouldn't be so happy - I would need the buzzer
but I do check its working ok every time I start her up
no fear there - I would have a new one on order as soon as it didn't flash on start up

Re: low coolant alarm coming on
I doubt your problem is a dirty screw (always wanted one of those). Make sure level is o.k. Send your address though and a new clean screw will be sent by return ( it will be a bigger one ) regarding the buzzer...is your alarm unit cylinder shaped or cube??andyb36 wrote:hi haydon

Re: low coolant alarm coming on
Not checked anything yet apart from coolant level. looks like it could be earth or something as it did it again today but put indicator on to turn and it went straight off.helen&tony wrote:Hi

Check the sensor screw is snug and the ring terminal is firmly in place.
