Hello everybody I am just glad I found this thread. I just came back from a 500 miles road trip. In the last 1.5 miles of the journey, the 'check coolant' came up. Immediately afterwards there was a strong smell of coolant. When I reached home the expansion tank was completely empty and the cap...

novi senzor je adaptiran. puno hvala.

Hi All Just to give you an update on this: The faulty sensor was removed and a new one fitted. The car is now fine. Bear in mind sensor 1 is the one furthest from you. The final set up looks like in the picture.

I eventually settled for this one; it's somewhat bulky but doesn't hinder any lights or vents
