She verified the temp was still normal so I told her to continue home (2-3 miles). When she got back sure enough the coolant level was at the bottom of the tank. I know I may be the victim of an idiot mechanic but after seeing some of the recent posts on some quality issues, it makes me wonder.....I had a Miata for 15 years drove it all over and autoX'ed it quite a bit...and besides tires It was in the shop 1 time (timing belt)...I'm looking at two times this week..  |
If there are no other source of leaks, and your mechanic changed the Coolant reservoir. Im pretty sure there is still Air in the system. System needs to be properly bled out of air....BTW, make sure they used the RIGHT type of Coolant.
