they get scum in them over ime. a good flush out is what you do

I'd just swap it for a working one Or keep an eye on your levels & remove the bulb

A new one from the main dealer is something like 20-25 pounds.

Been having trouble with my coolant level sensor in my Xs, took it out the other day and you can actually take it apart and clean inside.

 

There's a cap on the bottom of it, I just knocked it off with a screwdriver, cleaned inside (there's just a little polystyrene type float in there) then superglued it back on. But I don't think it fixed it so I ordered a new one from Peugeot the other day, £32 inc. vat!
