thread resurrection !!

My mk5 GTI is behaving just like this, anyone know if the coolant level sensor is a quick change and if so where to find the part number so I can order one. (and where to people find part numbers)

Finally its not clear if the whole coolant expansion bottle needs to be replaced, if so I might just wait for the next service at my indie !.

Thanks in advance.

You need to replace the whole expansion bottle. From memory it was around £19 from TPS and not much more from the dealers.
Not got the part number to hand though. I also bought a bottle of the VW antifreeze as well.
A mate helped change mine, fiddly to do the hose clips, used a cheap turkey baster to get the mix out of the bottle before taking it out.
