Charliie Posted October 28 Author Posted October 28 Cheers Steve. I’m gonna try and replace the sensor this weekend. See if it fixes the problem.

Hi if you change it the easiest way is to shut the bonnet after and then take it for a drive for fifteen mins then five mins after park check the level, I guarantee if you open the bonnet before that it will give a low reading, what price a good old dipstick.
