2 new coolant level sensors tried and failed

[georgen]

Dudes,

My old coolant level sensor failed on my 325 so I got a new one from ECP. This worked fine, but failed after 3 weeks. Got another one from them FOC and fitted it. Was fine for a day, but has failed again.

The coolant level's fine, any ideas ? Has anybody else had problems with these from ECP ?

First point- There are two different sensors; a fact my nearest GSF branch is unaware of, as they gave me the wrong one once.
Wrong one should give a permanent low coolant warning though (unless the coolant really is low, when it indicates OK).
Second point - Are you sure the sensors really are dud? Sounds like you may have got a wiring fault. You really need to fit one of your "dud" sensors in another car.

Thanks Brian, I'll try a known good sensor.
