Subject:      Water Level Indicator Red Blinking Light
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

I need some ideas for replacing the temperature gage that contains the red blinking light that indicates low water in the water reservoir. This has been an ongoing problem for several years. Now I am working on it again.

In the past, I have replaced the gage with a used one that worked several months then quit. Then I replaced the gage with one from VW which lasted about six months.

My questions are: 1. What sources are there for replacement gages? (Does anyone stock them besides the dealer?) 2. Has anyone built a separate water level gage to bypass the one that came with the vehicle? 3. Any ideas why the gages keep going bad?

Thanks in advance. If you send a reply to this message, please send it directly to me by e-mail so your reply won't get lost in all of the many messages on the site. I have a hard time reading all of them.

P.S. The rear water heater core is in and working great! The replacement was a snap; no trouble at all. Thanks to all who responded with help.
