Check the multiplug underneath the expansion bottle is firmly pushed home Undecided

Would this have been removed for the head gasket work to be done, as mine has only started doing this since I had work done on the car...
Undecided

yes, it would get more room to get to bolts... its only cliped in. lift up the bottle and have a look.

you have lost me vamps Sad

my original post was the washer bottle not coolant bottle Thumbs Up!

My question is the same as yours, just with Omegas there is never a straight answer to a problem, you have to go around the houses to sort them Roll Eyes

In essence it needs an electrical circuit to work, if this is broken then the warning will show, low washer fluid..

yup vamps you are correct but my question was that the washer level warning was coming up only on turning off the ignition not on start up or car running and as the float switch is only on/off if the float switch was faulty it wouldnt be making/breaking the contact therefore would show warning all the time
anyways changed float switch again and now all seems fine Thumbs Up!

IMO the error would not show all the time, If you have an open circuit tail light the ecu notes this and you are reminded about it after you switch off.
