Westfalia Water Tank Sensor

[Adeybruce]

I'm sure I've seen something on here about fixing the water level sensor for the Westfalia on-board tank but am having no luck searching for it.

My water tank has a vertical rod with a round float that moves up the outside of it. It always says it is full (an optimist?!); any ideas on how to get it to tell the truth? Thanks.

Repaired mine a couple of weeks ago.
It's listed on the brickyard

Got my replacement reed switches from cpc farnell as they do free delivery and there is no min order

If you need the part no.s let us know and I'll find the ones I ordered.

I ended up replacing the plastic tube as it had hairline cracks in it which let in water, I think it's quite common.

I got some plastic hgv truck air brake line, put a bar through it and warmed it up to make it straight and once cool it made a great replacement tube.

Also be aware of any sealant you may use to make sure it's safe in drinking water !

Jakemate, thanks for your post. Seems like quite a mission to repair the little bugger, but thanks for pointing me in the right direction. There could be quite a cottage industry in refurbing them ..... Anyone fancy it?

If you send me yours I'd repair it for you at a sensible price
