the water full indicator comes on with very little water in it so I guess the indicator sensors are gunked up. 

1. Any recommendation for cleaning with fluid ?

2. There are 2 large caps underneath - does anyone know where the sensors are in relation to the near side or off side caps and I'll reach in, try and reach them to clean them ?

 

thanks

on our bolero (not AT i know) the sensor was a group of four rods of differing lengths that were mounted at the top of the tank and each reached a different depth.....to signal to indocator panel.

the whole unit could be lifted out (a couple of screws holing it in place) and the rods could be cleaned away from the tank.

if you cant get at the 'measuring sensors' try DD's suggestion as above.

perhaps dropping a Lidl/Aldi washing gel pod in the tank every three empties will help keep it clean....these leave toilet cassettes speotless so shpuld work here too.
