Coolant level alarm for W123 300D- Anyone interested in one?
I have been testing this breadboard of a coolant level alarm and it works great. The sensor is from a VW. As you can see, when in contact with the coolant, it is silent. When not in contact, the piezo buzzer sounds.
I believe the VW type sensor will be much more reliable than the float/reed switch level sensor on the W126 coolant expansion tanks. Mine has a buzzer which you can't miss and will nag you till you correct the coolant level. CLICK TO PLAY!

Thanks to Jooseppi Luna for the W123 expansion tank. 2 stainless screws will serve as the probe.

Bench testing the probe in the expansion tank. Tilting the tank such that the coolant in not in contact with the probes, the buzzer sounds. I will be installing the tank into my 85 300D for field testing once I put the circuit into a pill bottle.
Will report back in a few weeks on how it's doing. CLICK TO PLAY!
