Coolant level sensor location?

Post Wed Jul 20, 2005 9:33 am

Does anybody know where the coolant level sensor is located on me 325i ? I reckon mine is boogered. I have a 318i for spares. Are the sensors the same ?

Cheers Dudes !!

The type that fit with the connector end upwards (e.g 325 type) is different from a 318i one which fits with the connector downwards, in the bottom of the header tank on the rad.
If you fit the wrong one, it will indicate coolant OK when it's low, and coolant low when it's full.
GSF and Eurocarparts are both capable of supplying the wrong one!
