Are you sure is the coolant expansion tank?
My one doesn't seem to have any level switch.
Where is it exactly located? Any pics?

the low level switch is on the underside of the expansion tank.

Mihnea: the low level switch is on the underside of the expansion tank.

yep thats right. follow small vire that comes to the botton of expansion tank and you will find it

Valijo,

the switch is not replaceable and probably??? not repairable??? the water tank is not that much to buy,. If you want, I've got a spare bottle here (used - but works fine) if you want to pay the postage, you can have the bottle.
