all right guys

some help needed am stuck now

Been working on the car all winter, but to day when a went to start it 1st time in a few months, it started 1st time but the buzzer came on so turned off checked water leavel and oil there fine... have had the engine complete drained over the winter... so thought might be a air lock so been bleeding it for ages and turned the car on a few times and still gettting the buzzer.. or is there some where else a need to bleed it???

also the wire for what a think is for the temp gauge has snaped to would this affect it??

am runing the car with out the intercooler or any pipes from the tubos as the intercooler is away to get sorted.. would this cause a prob

am stuck now... is there any thing else that sets the buzzer off

If the water level sensor is a short circuit or open I think it will set off (IE if its not plugged in.) From memory the sensor for the water level is the one at the front of the filler neck. (not the two behind it)

That\'s the water level sensor. If it snaps, the alarm goes off. That\'s your problem.

If your handy with a soldering iron there does look to be -some meat- left on that wire in the sensor you might be ableto get a wire onto it. it does look like its one of those wonderful magic single wire sensors :Giggle
