This is an upgrade kit for Volvo models listed above . These cars do not have a low coolant warning system installed at the factory . There is nothing that can warn you about engine coolant being low . You will have to install one of these on your car to have some sort of warning feature. You will be installing a new tank , new sensor and the sensor harness.

The installation procedure of this upgraded tank on your vehicle can take about one hour give or take , without visiting a repair facility or service garage. On the Turbo charged cars- it may take a little bit longer. The idea behind the low coolant warning is not new, and most of the Volvo models were equipped with this feature, but not yours.

Here are the directions of how to proceed with the installation of

1) - MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE IS COLD!!

2) Clamp the coolant lines to and from the coolant tank . Lift tank upwards and position tank as shown on the pictures so that the coolant is on one side of the tank. Remove hose clamps and remove hoses from the tank . Attach hoses onto new replacement tank Install new replacement tank with the coolant sensor onto the mounting brackets on the car ( make sure the coolant level us up to the FULL line)

3) Locate the coolant thermostat housing on your engine ( we include instructions - showing where it is- please look at the pictures with instructions

4) Disconnect gray color electrical connector from the coolant temperature sensor.

5) Install larger Plug of the new low coolant sensor system harness onto the coolant sensor on the thermostat housing,

6) install smaller plug of the new low coolant sensor system harness into the GRAY coolant temperature sensor harness plug at the vehicles engine wire harness.

PLEASE NOTE - TURBOCHARGED ENGINES REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE AIR FILTER BOX HOUSING. THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR ON THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING IS HIDDEN AWAY.

We designed and developed this upgrade kit so that you can have an early LOW ENGINE COOLANT warning system installed on your Volvo models mentioned above. From the day these models were introduced to the USA market- there has been an issue since there is no factory installed low coolant warning system. It is UNFORTUNATE, but many of our customers have had to deal with the cost associated with complete engine replacement due to loss of coolant and engine OVERHEATING.

We are proud to offer this solution to you . You will have a low engine coolant warning system on your Volvo after installing this upgrade kit.

Please UNDERSTAND - this is NOT a repair solution for OVERHEATED engine. If your vehicles engine had suffered an overheating condition - the engine repairs have to be addressed first. Then you install the sensor .

Please understand that the sensor is monitoring coolant level and sending you a message that there is an issue. If the message comes after you have installed the sensor - there is a possibility of a coolant loss.
