Coolant level light.

[GTiPilot]

Hi everyone,

Mine does the same, however, when cold and before startup on flat ground the level is at the full/max line and no where near the empty line. Sometimes I can go for weeks without it coming on and sometimes it happens every trip. If you turn the car off and on again its not there anymore. Every time I drive (ambient temps between 10-40 degrees C) it always comes up to 90 degrees on the temp gauge.

I think it is a faulty sensor which unfortunately is fixed inside the bottle and so needs to have the whole bottle replaced.

Whats a new bottle/resovoir worth?

Mechanic said its a leaking radiator. Thankfully it is a very slow leak. What is a new one worth installed?

I have been quoted over $900 by my mechanic to replace my radiator on my Polo GTI. VW quoted over $800, Red Devil have quoted between $600-$650 and Natrad say $545. However I don't know if Red Devil and Natrad will use genuine VW parts. Instead of calling VW for a quote on a radiator they looked it up in their catalogue and I am pretty sure they thought it was the same radiator used in the 1.4 and 1.6L Polos. Are they the same radiators and can you guys recommend me anyone reasonably priced?
