        The sensor is not only a level sensor, but it does it by magic!
        In one of the VW archives I found a service bulletin about the
blinking lite. The level is determined by the resistance of the fluid acting
on a probe, (NOT a Float). If the coolant is mixed too 'rich' the probe will
not get the correct reading and the lite will blink.
        I can't remember which VW page I went to for this info, but there
was some good info out there for the finding.
        Later volks,


        Rob.
