Re: Our '06 has always lost coolant Posted by Justin VanAbrahams [Email] (#32) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Justin VanAbrahams) on Sun, 7 Jan 2018 15:06:31 In Reply to: Our '06 has always lost coolant, MI-Roger [Profile/Gallery] , Sun, 7 Jan 2018 08:34:03 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My '08 has had several leaks - first the expansion tank cap, then through the O-rings on the right side outlet (three of them) and then through the O-rings on the heater core quick disconnects. It's never been a fast leak - about 1/2 cup a month. It seems time related and not mileage related - it doesn't matter whether it goes a normal 1000 miles in a month or 2000 miles in a month - the warning comes on after a month. I think the heater core hose replacement may have finally fixed the issue. It's been almost two months without a warning - one week to go! A cooling system pressure tester has been invaluable. Pump it up, wait 30-60 minutes for a puddle on the ground. So far it's all been right side - no leaks on the left, though I am sure I'm going to have to do that nightmare thermostat job soon.
