I replaced my timing belt and tensioner for a 2000 volvo s70 glt. During the removal I lifted the coolant reservior and sat it on the spark plug area and remained tilted until the replacement was done. Now I am getting a coolant sensor indicator problem. I checked the sensor connector for any damage line and cleaned it, the warning light was still on.
Coolant level was at max. When I played around the sensor or tapping it with a screwdriver inside, warning light tend to dissappear. How can I fix this? Thanks

Yep - my first round with t belt resulted in the same thing.

I went to my local volvo dealer and got the part.
