coolant alarm

Hi 4x4Mad,

I have the Engine Saver that is advertised on ExploreOz, the one that has the probe that goes in the radiator hose. It was very easy to install and gives great peace of mind. I mounted the piezo alarm under the dash in the fuse panel (nice and loud still and out of the way) and the LED (very bright I might add) to a switch blank to the right of the steering column which is easily visible even in bright sunlight. This particular unit runs it's own self test at every engine start-up so you always know that it's working. Hope this helps.

As above mate , the ones mounted on the coolant bottle work BUT with a sudden coolant loss sometimes there can be coolant still in the coolant overflow (depending on vehicle ) but none in the radiator itself so a unit mounted in the radiator hose guarantee's to let you know before the ones mounted in a coolant reservoir. hope this helps...666toy

I drive landcruisers for nearly 30 years and never had a problem loosing all my water in one hit. I do keep an eye on the hoses and when my waterpump died I could smell the coolant within 10 seconds. Not knocking a product just not sure if a coolant alarm is the way to go. After that you need an another alarm to go off when the fuse for the coolant alarm blows........don't know.
