[QUOTE="valkryie, post: 114925, member: 2023"] Hi Zogee, I did raise the coolant sensor point to the last 2 workshops but both recommended expansion tank change citing the following reasons: The reason they say is that the tank is due for change otherwise the tank can crack due to it being brittle over time and heat stress. One of the workshops says he is quite confident that the main culprit is the sensor in the expansion tank itself and not the external sensor at the bottom of the tank. Anyway I thought I might as well change the expansion tank. It is cheap insurance against possible future overheating problems as recommended in [url]www.edgemotorworks.com[/url]. I give him the benefit of the doubt since he can make more money by recommending tank plus a sensor change but only recommended changing the tank. I can always change the sensor later on if the problem does not get resolve. I have to drive faster on the highway now and see if the problem will happen again :D [/QUOTE]
