You'll need a wire to the dash insert if you fit the sensor.  I remember a batch of Fabia's were made without the wire in place and it caused a nightmare for the service dept's.

Hmm sensor can't cost that much... wonder if its an easy fit?

would have thought you'd need a new bottle and the sensor and wire it into the loom  :undecided:

Or how about the easiest option of all. When you pull the stalk and no water comes out, fill it up with some more. Hey presto cleany window.

I hope you realised that is a low coolant warning and topped it up with coolant before setting off on your way?
