    Default where is the coolant level sensor?

    Does the 520i 1989 have the coolant level sensor? I dont know if it is broken or if it doesnt come with the car.

    My ETK says you don't have one. If you do, it's on the bottom of the driver's side tank.

    if it has one it will be on the bottom of the coolent bottle atached to the radiator, if it doesn't have a sensor it may have a jumper plugged into the wire

    mine tells me low coolant but the coolant is fine, what could be the problem.

    bad sensor or bad connection to sensor, clean the plug and pinch the female parts a little tighter and see if that stops the false message
