The hot coolant can boil after a fashion... MarcW - 7 years ago |

I can't see how lime in water could get deposited if the water doesn't boil. It's in solution.
Valid question. It states U.S. gallons. Guenter in Ontario - 9 years ago |

Hi, That's me.. from Barrie, I tried last year but plans got messed up. Fingers crossed for this year.

the red pin popped up suddenly (not much range there!) because it could've been binding a little, so I gently poked it and it fortunately settled nicely just below Max. I don't think there will be an overflow issue when the car's driven again, because the amount of water added was so miniscule. Besides, I'd be happy to trade off a temporary coolant overflow for no more oil loss!
So, is it the blue innards one that was updated? Laz - 9 years ago |

I hadn't opened the coolant cap until a few days ago, so I don't know if mine originally had the yellow one as shown in my manual. An early servicing shows they replaced something called a "cagewith float" (sic) part # 981-106-155-00 that could be it. As previously mentioned, the red pin was slightly stuck in the minimum position even after I added water, but popped up with a little poke of my finger.
See this cooling system diagram, it's # 25:

How does the oil look Guenter? Hoping that's not where the coolant went!

I replaced the cap last year at about this time and that solved my slow coolant leak. I just checked it today and had to add about 1 cup of distilled water to bring the level up to max. It appears that the rubber gasket deforms a bit over time.
Couple of things to keep in mind... MarcW - 9 years ago |
