The original Volkswagen Coolant Level Sensor is a simple and effective design that typically performed well; however, many of the available aftermarket reproductions of the sensor are prone to developing leaks in their all-plastic design.

Our GoWesty Coolant Level Sensor Conversion Kit includes a modern, all-metal coolant level sensor and a thread adapter with a new O-ring for direct install into either the original style Plastic Expansion Tank or our Aluminum Coolant Expansion Tank.

Protect and future-proof your van with this simple installation. Replace it once and fuggetaboutit!

Installation note: This kit replaces VW part numbers: 251-919-372 & 251-919-372A. This kit requires deleting the original wire connector plug and crimping on the included high quality weatherproof plug that matches the new sensor.

Replaced expansion tank and needed a replacement sensor. I had this same sensor before so it was an easy choice. Easy install

She needed this bad

My light sensor would t work at all now she’s alittle glitchy but that’s from the cluster in the back. Other than that this upgrade helped ALOT. And easy install

coolant level sensor

I hate to say this but not at all happy with this "upgrade". Let's just say metal male threads going into female plastic threads did not work for me at all. I'm sure all would work fine with upgraded metal tank. I spent nearly 30 minutes carefully attempting to screw the sensor into the OEM plastic tank without cross threading... NO success. I finally lost patience and went to web site to order the aluminum tank, however, clicking on 1.9 option came back with nothing. I'm afraid I had to finally go to Van Cafe and order their aluminum tank for 1.9 Westy. Sorry about that

Bad temp sensor

Having a good coolant tank sensor is a MUST on a Wasserboxer

Works as it should

After the second time the coolant like came on in my mom's Vanagon decided to replace the Meyle coolant sensor that was leaking into the plug with this. Installs fine and works, which is all I care about.

The only thing I wished is you could just get it with the plug and terminals rather then the stiff wires coming out of the plug and the waterproof butt connectors.

Great coolant sensor

Extremely well made and an easy replacement for original.

Better than stock!

Got this to fix a leaky OEM sensor, this is a cleaner and better solution than replacing it with another molded plastic fitting that is going to have a tendency to leak at the seams.

Plug and Play

Coolant light was flashing, but levels were great and no overheating. Instantly came to GoWesty, bought the their replacement part and got it in time for the weekend trip. Took me about 15 mins to install, which was made easier with their written instructions as well as a YouTube video. Weekend trip was a success and stress free!

Sensor

Installed and gave me some piece of mind that my engine wasn't going to melt down. Eventually, replaced engine with Subaru conversion thoiugh

Super upgrade for a leaky plastic sender

This replacement unit does as advertised, a big upgrade from the leaky plastic unit I had and the milled aluminum adapter mounts this modern unit very nicely. It compliments the new replacement tank also ordered, so two leaks gone in one which has stabilized my cooling system as air can no longer enter through the leaking tank seam or flawed plastic sender. Woo

Coolant low level sensor

Great replacement part would highly recommend. Easy install on original tank, Recommend using heat shrink tubing to seal wire crimp connectors.
