## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Genuine Volvo Penta expansion-tank level sensor
-   Integrated with expansion tank assembly 21505289
-   Provides low-coolant warning input to the engine control system
-   Sealed sensor connection for marine engine compartments
-   Electrical sensor requiring full diagnostic coverage
-   Engine type: Volvo Penta D11 inline six-cylinder marine diesel

## 🔌 Function

Detects when coolant in the expansion tank falls below the calibrated level and sends a warning signal to protect the engine from coolant loss and overheating.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   False low-coolant warning with correct level
-   No warning when coolant level is low
-   Intermittent warning caused by connector or wiring faults
-   Corrosion or coolant ingress at the sensor terminals
-   Sensor remains open or shorted during electrical testing

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Note the wiring and the sensor's orientation before removal, and isolate the circuit so nothing is live while the sender is out
-   Check the float or probe moves freely through its full travel before fitting, and that nothing inside the tank or reservoir can foul it
-   Seal the thread or flange as the installation specifies, and be sparing with sealant on a sender that earths through its body — an insulated sender reads nothing at all
-   Do not over-tighten; these are thin-walled sensor bodies going into thin-walled tanks and housings
-   Prove the installation end to end afterwards, confirming the gauge or alarm responds correctly at both ends of the range rather than assuming a new part must be good
