Hi,
I have the Mercedes C230 header tank fitted to my Stag, as detailed on the Grampian Stags website.
I was planning to fit a level warning indicator lamp, but on checking the level sensor in the Merc header tank, it looks like it is a variable level sensor (resistor), rather than a low-level warning switch.
It seems to vary by about 100Ohms from low to high coolant level.
I could fit a gauge or create a diode triggering circuit, but I was wondering if someone has already wired a coolant level warning lamp using this header tank.
I did notice that Febi do a level warning switch that looks similar to the level warning sensor, but I am not sure it would fit (or work) in the C230 header tank.
Thanks,
Den
