T6.1 Ocean grey water

CaptainCalifornia · May 3, 2023

Hi
My waste water graphic on high level centre screen always shows yellow at the bottom Even when completely empty. Does anyone know if this Is normal or do I have an issue with faulty indicator or tank float? It reads as if I have a minimal amount of grey water in tank all the time. Many thanks

Mines the same, even when I’ve driven with the valve open for a complete empty

Mines the same nearly empty or full.

Normal. The sensor has only two positions and images. The one you describe actually means empty. The image when empty is more to differentiate that it is grey waste vs fresh.

Yep 100% normal. When full, the graphic changes to show full, and you’ll get a message to tell you to empty it. If you don’t it just overflows. When cleaning the fresh water tank we run sterilised water into the grey tank until full, which does two things, it gives the tank a good clean, and it tests the high level sensor that normally never sees liquid.
