Re: Coolant dump -- help narrowing down the source? -- Resolved
Hey Pedro and others

Just wanted to close the loop here to say the Indie followed Pedro's instructions and drained the coolant, drew a vacuum, closed the bleeder valve, took it on a brisk drive and everything held up fine, solving the problem!
They did put on a new cap as well, so [i]technically[/i] we can't be 1,000% sure that wasn't a factor, but that is a remote possibility (since the cap was pretty new). They also verified the fan was working properly.

Thanks so much Pedro for helping to eliminate this pesky problem. Hoping others find the writeup helpful.

Jim
