here we go again! just checked the codes and reset them. now backing off the lift the car bumped the bottom a wee bit hard. soon after my low coolant light is on. it is full of coolant however. over filled it looks like if anything. temp gauge is normal! where is the temp sensor located? thanks

The low coolant sensor in my 98 t5 is in the bottom of the coolant tank and the coolant temperature sensor is in the thermostat housing.

thanks! i just disconnected the sensor underneath the bottom of the tank and light is still on, now i have a few more hours of work and then a 20 mile drive home with the light on, scary feeling any other options to look for?

Plug the sensor back in and then smack the overflow tank. The sensors tend to stick.

thanks mr ozark! i will try that in the am. also the codes i pulled were po422 and po14 i erased the codes but light came on after 4 miles or so. is the sensor the coupler beneath the coolant tank? in any event i will get to bottom of the issue tomorrow i hope. if i was in the mood i would go smack the tank a few times like u suggested. in the am i will try it.

all good now! tapped a few times with a rubber mallet and disconnect-reconnect a few times and all is fine. now it is time to look into the inoperable rear wiper. thank you!
