View Full Version : Coolant Level message won't go away...

About six weeks ago I replaced the radiator on my wife's '95 525. While I was at it I replaced the hoses and belts. I have refilled it and bled the system, but the "Coolant Level" message comes on whenever you start the car. It never overheats and the actual coolant level in the tank has stayed very consistant. I've checked the wires and re-bled the system sevaral times but still get the warning message.
Anyone have any ideas about this?

Seems that these are a common failure on the E34. Not a hard replacement.

the one on the side is the coolant temp sensor, the bottom one is the level. Or if you have a 535 or a V8, it's up by the firewall i believe (am i wrong?)
