Hi all
I recently took my Gen II to a local repair shop for new tires, and they mentioned that the coolant was low. I thought that was odd since I had checked it recently. Just to be sure, I double checked and I noticed that it is full at the radiator cap (where I had checked it last time), but noticed the expansion tank is indeed empty.
Is that something to be concerned about? Any ideas on cause? I'm thinking a clog in a line meaning the expansion tank cannot fill up, which would be a concern if the radiator becomes too pressurised.
My display always reads the coolant at sensible levels, rarely above 200F and never above 215F, so I feel ok that I'm not overheating the engine, at least.
Cheers
