Warning Code 16 Water Sensor?

[chris watton]

Just had this pop up on my LCD screen again, it pops up now and again, 3rd time in 4 months. I wish the codes were a little more specific, OK, its a water sensor, and????? what's up with it????
Worse than Microsoft with an 'Error 4977, shut down PC'! LOL

Anyone else had this? :)

What was the water temp at the time - high?

My Tamora does this also. I see this message when the temp gets too high (immediately following, temp = 108 deg warning or similar) - I interpret it is saying - 'the temp is too high'.

My temp guage (in the pod dsiplay) is overreading by 10 degrees (confirmed by my dealer), so driving round town my temp can look like it is too high when it is not... if that makes sence.

For me it is a case of pod back to blackpool - will do over winter, too much fun to be had now. For the mean time I mentally subtract 10 deg and occasionally see the same warning that you do.

I get this come up on the odd occasion. As long as your coolant level/water temp is OK I wouldn't worry about it, probably just a bit of steam passing over the sensor.

Had the same on my Tamora 'loaner' happened everytime the temp got too high. I think it was also over-reading as reported above.

Thankd for that guys , I knew its only (probably) a minor glitch, if it's serious, the fault screen stays on even if you press both the buttons on the back of the wheel, dont they? I'll sort it on my next 12K service, I may also get the throttle bodies bushed, as response is marginally slower than it used to be!

Same on the Sag - will have it checked on 6k service, but expect same as T350

Chris,

I had to have my water sensor changed at the 12k svc, it cam up on the diagnostic as a fualt, but wasn't showing any codes when driving?? £85.00 if its the same part? ouch.

lol,,, hey ho, another thing to add to the list of expensive 'things to sort' on the next big service, having said that, I have thouroughly enjoyed the driving experience this summer, so it will deserve some more TLC when the nights start drawing in!

Chris,

Just checked my lat svc bill. The water sensor was £9.00, it was the speed sensor that was £85.00. Sorry for the duff info.
