There is just metal prongs in the bottle which get clogged up and it makes the circuit as though there is no water in the tank.
£15 for a new bottle :smiley:

Can you not clean the metal prongs? this worked on my Seat 1.8T. Bottle is only £15 but every little helps!
Have you reset the engine light to see if it comes back?
