I have had no false warnings or any warnings - probably as it gets changed every 10,000 km and hopefully buy good fuel. I have not found any water when I changed the filter.
But happy to have it there JUST IN CASE!!! :)
I've found Gorilla hands are usually responsible for the sensor false alarm.
The sensor is cheap, just change it and maintain the benefits it provides.
Why anyone would remove a reliable, cost saving system from a 4WD is beyond me.
As said before- it's an after market expense on many other brands and far from useless.
If the connectors are full of dirt, clean them and replace the seal which is most likely missing from the connector- probably lost during a filter change.
It's just poor vehicle maintenance/abuse nothing else.
Mine developped an internal short at the beginning of my D2 ownership and blew the fuse which stopped the pump, at that time i knew nothing about how a D2 works and paid serious money for recovery and diagnostic cos the mechanic was incompetent and spent two days to realise why the fuse keeps blowing ... so maybe for some knowlegeable guys is a gain but IMO it can make more damage than the benefit of a warning which will never show up as long as the filter is changed at decent intervals ... due to it's position and poor design for those who are doing much off-road where it can be hurt or wading is an unnecessary source of failure IMO
not the case for Australia but in those countries where the winter is hard and they drop salt on the roads it is a real PITA as it gets ingressed with salted dirt and becomes completely erratic
