A bubble in the line? Hmmmmm. If the bubble were sitting at the sensor I could see how it could misinterpret that for the coolant level itself. Interesting. Thanks!

 

Its actually not misinterpreting. It is low, just at or below minimum line visually. Release the pressure/cap extremely slowly and as soon as hear small pressure release fills to max line. Yes, I did hot (dangerous if not careful). Family all in car do not have two hours to cool down and do. LOL.

 

Ahhhhh. So the idea is that bubble of air is somehow interfering with the ebb and flow of coolant between the engine and the reservoir and lack of return of coolant to the reservoir is then triggering the coolant sensor switch.

Too soon old and too late smart.

 

Same thing happened to me. I burped it. It came back twice and I bought a gallon of coolant. FUuK the dealer I’m not going in for service, unless it’s an oil change. I just added a little after car cooled down and it went away. Welcome to Land Rover ownership!

 

14 psi or whatever these have expands cooling system just enough to make coolant level below sensor... you burp it and everything contracts back down and coolant level goes up in tank... their is a very small threshold between max and "low" apparently. Top it off.

 

I also had that happen to me (twice) right after I got the car. Order a gallon of anti freeze and added no more than a couple of ounces and has not happened the last 2 month.

 

I know several owners, including myself, who had low coolant when the vehicles arrive and the dealers did not check on their PDI. Topped off coolant and like others mentioned problem solved, many of these seem to be delivering with low levels.

 

I just noticed my coolant was also low. But engine was cold. So could be normal but will top it off with oem coolant made in UK for LR!

 

Is it the same the LR4 takes? The 50/50 coolant & distilled water? I have this at home. The service department said yes, but I question anything anymore.

 

There is also this SSM on TOPIX. Doesn't sound like your issue exactly, but it could be.
