Just replaced my expansion tank due to hairline crack and associated leak.
I was also surprised to see that the installed coolant level sensor was NOT hooked up (7/01). I assumed that the wiring harness with male end must be in the vicinity, either forgotten by previous maintenance, or missed at the factory. But I can NOT find one anywhere.
Further investigation revealed no "coolant level" annunciator in the dash unit, no reference to a coolant level warning light in the OM, and I have not found any wiring reference to/from this level sensor in the Bentley manual.
I'd really like to know if/when my coolant is low.
Anyone have further information on either:
1. Why some of these E53s where shipped without the system hooked up, or
2. How to get the system hooked up and functional.
I'm hoping to post a DIY on the expansion tank replacement soon. - D
