coolant tank bobber thing stuck!

[beamertruck]

I was pumping out old coolant and put in the new coolant. Mixed with water i shine my flashlight in and see it stuck under the plate on the side of the tank, anyone know how to get it out? Is it gonna cause issues/an error light? My ocd is kickin in so even if it isnt important id like to get it out.

It serves no function other than to tell you that your coolant level is ok. It's not electrically connected to anything, as far as I know. You have to have the expansion tank cap off for it to show the true level anyway.

Don't worry, you'll be replacing it soon enough when your expansion tank inevitably cracks...

True with 85k miles its only a matter of time. Wasnt sure if it was connected to a sensor or something. Thanks, least now i dont have anything to worry about

I would replace before it cracks. Usually doesn't crack when it is convenient. Just a suggestion.
