    Default coolant light

    I have a 3.2 v6 signum. Last weekend I had a motorway journey of about 145 miles. The drive down was fine etc no problems. This was the friday i parked the car up. I then got back to the car on Monday and when I started up the coolant light came on indicating that the water level was low. So I checked the water and it was fine no leakage etc at all. So I drove back the 145 miles and the light stayed on the whole way. The engine temp gauge was acting normal and not overheating. Since then the light is tempermental it will ome on some journeys and other time not at all. Any ideas please I have checked for leaks etc and all the pipes seem good and secure. Thanks.

    Gotta be a sensor throwing a wobbly then (like my technical terms??) see if it can be removed and cleaned up (clean the contacts on both sides of the plug also), if that doesn't cure it you may be looking at a new sensor.
