    Coolant Light on Check Panel

    I know I know, another bleeding question.

    I just flushed the engine and put new coolant in, bled the system, drove it, bled it again and the coolant level light on the check panel is still on even though I put in over 12.5L (granted the bleeding process).

    I can't put any more fluid in because it overflows!
    Is there a trick I missing to this?

      I'm using the standard m20 unit. I've never had a problem with it before. Do you think might be the problem?

        Mine is on as well, along with brakes, and washer fluid. However, all three of these things are in perfect shape. I just ignore them... I'm assuming it's the sensors gone bad.

            Are you using the later coolant expansion tank? Could you post a pic for me?
