    So maybe the coolant level has dropped since then.

    Yep it would be extra chilly in Canning Vale, always seems a bit cooler around there and out towards Jandakot too...

    I've found it the warning does go off, I open the coolant bottle and then it's ok. The coolant level is fine, still well above minimum. I suspect there might be an air leak or something and if there's a bit of condensation of the top of the sensor above the coolant level it goes stupid. Maybe not but once I take the cap off for a few seconds it's ok, bit of outside air etc and the sensor is ok again. Will probably need to replace the bottle as the sensor seems to be moulded in but not too fussed at the moment.
