We'll i was cruising with a few 780 members and all of a sudden my "rev" buzzer starts going and i look i'm doing 60 at liek 2g's i'm like um this isnt right so i'm looking around ADD COOLANT light is on i turn the key off and slowly coost into the dirt parking lot by 137 and st albert trail.
pop the hood all i hear is pissing. start from rad nothing then the line to and from nothing. Now i dunno where it happened till i look under the car and it was comming from the second rotor housing. First off i thought it was cracked till someone gave me a better light and it was just a house to or from the housing that had finaly sliced it's way open.
so Matt(chromedragon) Aaron(stipwr) had brought tools down and had it fixed in no time. sept we lost a clamp due to hot hot temp's.
drove up to the timmies on 137 and 130 i believe or so got about 4 l's of water after dumping in close to a a liter and a half and i still dont think it was full.
drove it home ran good cooler then before and never had a problem since.
I dunno why i posted it but whatever something to read about. lol
... thanks for the time.

Similar thing happened to me with my old 12a. Thought it was ok afterwards. The next day tried firing it up and at full throttle I was going about 5 km/h with a massive cloud behind the car. It was pretty obvious the housings warped pretty bad.
It's an extremely easy thing to do, so you gotta be very careful and make sure to replace your coolant lines to prevent it from happening. |

dan it runs great i smelt it way before it got serious watched the gauge thinking it could be me because another member had a problem so thats probably why it didnt hurt me to bad. |

He hadnt lost all of his coolant and the motor never overheated. |

| That buzzer feature should be installed in every car, then maybe you wouldn't get so many people extremely overheating their cars. |

The north is working out really well, the only downside is the lack of driving :( |

Get a water temp gauge.
You're lucky, usually when people lose coolant and hear the buzzer, it's all over but the crying. |

| Well the car holds alot of coolant. i mean me and aaron drained out probably a good 2 - 3 liters and but in over 5? so i didnt loose enough to hurt it before i shut it down luckily |
