fd coolant problem - Click HERE for Original Thread

rxheaven93
As of about a week ago (when we had a cold snap, I WONDER WHAT THE CONNECTION IS), I've had a coolant leak. Rather, I've had a lack of coolant in my car, and when I try to refill the reservoir, it fills up and the coolant buzzer still goes off when the reservoir is full. it doesnt smoke any white smoke not does over heat. i noticed it leaking from turbo side/reservoir when i add coolant. it also seems like the coolant isnt going ne where when i add coolant to the reservoir.

Any ideas what this could be, so I can look for it, or at least begin to price stuff while I'm at work tomorrow? Also, if it's just a crack in the reservoir or something, is there a way for me to patch it so that I can at least get it to the shop to replace it?

And on that note, is it safe for me to drive in order to get it to the shop or something? The coolant buzzer comes on within 20 seconds of me starting the car. even thoe the reservoir check thingy says there is alot fo coolant in there

Remove the cap on the coolant filler neck by the air pump and fill it up there. All you are doing is filling the overflow. Fill the actual system first and burp it.
