Thread: D1 water bottle cracks and cooks engine?

That is what happens with the water temp guage, if there is no water near the temp guage it may not read correctly. The idea of the water sensor is that the sensor does not activate whilst water makes a circuit across the sensor. Once water is removed the sensor should activate the alarm. Light, audible or both.

They seem to offer a solution, but I have also been told the loss of water can be rapid and the engine must be shut down quickly to avoid damage and this sometimes does not occur.

Lots of urban myths seem to float around this one as well.

My wife said she pulled over and shut down the engine the instant the warning light came on, but it was already too late :roll:

You know any statement that starts with that is either going to involve:

pain
money
lies

or all of the above

Two out of three certainly. :wink:

Low level coolant alarms pick up "carastrophic" leakage before it is too late (i.e. before the high temperature registers)
