Hi,
After a 15 mile/50 minute stop and go northern Virginia traffic, I pulled into my garage, turned off the car and car dumped coolant in front of right rear tire.
I read the posts and did my research, ordered a .04 coolant cap (I had .01) and borrowed pressure testing kit from Autozone (BTW: Number 7 cap fits our car). The system maintained the pressure and did not show any leak.
Also, there was no sign of coolant in the trunk after taking our carpet. The tank did not look old/yellow. It looked whitest white.
Filled with new Porsche coolant (that's what car had before), burped the system drove around for a while (40 miles with new cap) and no leak (
). One garage I called to ask approx. cost to replace coolant tank and I was quoted $1200 labor + part.
I have couple of questions:
What should be the coolant level when the car is cold? (Min/Max/In between)
What is the best way to figure out that the radiator fans are turning on when they are suppose to?
I am newbie when it comes to working on the cars, with your help I have been able to do some work like change rear spoiler motor, change gear oil, change window regulator etc.
Thank you in advance.
