Default Sapphire Washer Bottle Level Sensor

Hi All,
I am just trying to find out if the 3 door and sapphire washer bottle level sensors are the same? Does anybody out there know? Thanks.

CheeRS, Mike.

Hi all,
My sapphire is a May 1990 and is one of the last of the 2WD to be made and this does have the level sensor which is faulty (wire broken off) causing the warning light to flash next to the low fuel warning light.

CheeRS, Mike.

the saphs never had them
what you've got is the header tankl from an earlier car and the level sender from the washer bottle wired into the header tank

the seners are all the same, but you just have to make sure the plugs at the end will fit as they changed shape at least once

they all had a washer bottle level sensopr, but if you put a level sensor into the header tank you can use the same sensor to indicate when you have lost coolant rather than screenwash
