Yep I have one. It works well but is very sensitive on the GQ. The alarm takes up to 10 minutes from startup in the mornig to quiet down when the coolant heats up and expands. I have installed an On/Off switch to combat the noise. All I have to do is to remember to flick the switch on again...:-)

Yep. Gotr one too on GU. Works fine, jusy a beep when starting.

Sounds like a goer to me, I been wanting to get one now for many years , Thank you all who gave me a reply

Loss of coolant will kill any engine quicker than anything. I could never understand why these alarms are not fitted in the factory Gauges are fine if you can look at them reqularly but its not always possible driving at night or when things are going on. I really think one needs a temp and water level alarm as standard. An low oil pressure alarm would be good too, only coming on of oil pressure dropped while driving at certain revs.

Doesnt someone on this list sell them??? Ive been toying with the idea for a while,my new beast needs a rebuild from overheating at some time in its previous life....broken rings....i wish...i wish

I put one in the GU after a $7000.00 small coolant hose incident - most temp guages don't read when dry! Mine is a different brand, but works well. A small chirp upon starting, and makes a hell of a noise if the sensor has no earth. Mine is supposed to be drilled into the top tank of the radiator. I was reluctant to do this, so I fitted the sensor (which is just a bolt with an expanding rubber nut) through the radiator cap - I fugured if it developed a leak or didn't work the radiator cap was considerably easier and cheaper to repair.

The radiator system on the GU allows this as the cap on the top tank has no pressure relief, its on a small additional remote tank on the passenger side. It was a simple installation in the radiator cap and will go off if the water level drops about an inch. Funnily enough, a lot of modern cars have a similar sensor on the windscreen washer bottle and not on the coolant! No problems cooking the motor, but heaven forbid the windex runs out!

If I bought another car, it would be the first thin I would put on, once bitten....

Cheers Andrew

I have used similar types for years on farm equipment. The probe was fitted into the top of the radiator tank. Only ever needed it twice but reckon probably saved me $80,000.

Maybe we should hit David at Engine Saver for a group discount on 20 units ?? Surely we could get a few takers. See they are ~$150 and then $10 discount for members at the moment... just a thought.
