Coolant Level Low Warning Message
Hello All,
I just bought a 2012 XF Portfolio and I have a "Coolant Level Low" warning on the dash. I've done a little research, and lots of people on here say it's probably the float in the reservoir tank. They say to just replace the tank itself, which comes with the sensor and the float in built inside the tank. I would just like some confirmation or any other ideas that might lead me in the right direction. The coolant is in fact full, I've took the cap off to verify.
Thanks in advance

Your car appears to have covered 104K miles, the coolant looks like it needs changing. you may be able to recover the level float by removing the tank and washing it out but it likely it would not last long. In the absence of the maintenance history of the car I would take the opportunity to check out the whole cooling system, water pump, plastic pipes front and rear etc install a new tank, new coolant and whatever else looks dodgy.
Just looking at the pics I would look at changing the power steering oil and also check the routing of the power brake vacuum tube which should be outside of the engine cover.

Update....
I just replace the expansion tank, and I still have the "Low Coolant Level" message. Does anyone know if it takes time for the sensor to reset itself? I cleared all codes with my scan tool that is designed for Jags and Land Rovers, and disconnected the positive battery terminal in order to start up the vehicle.

Maybe too late now but before you bolted the tank down and filled it I would connect the coolant level sensor and turn the tank upside down to put the float in the full position. To see if that would turn off the light.
Can you see the float rising to the top of the coolant in the tank?
