Coolant Full line on reservoir
Hey by chance would anyone have a pic of the coolant reservior where the "full line" is located? I can't see anything where the line is suppose to be?
Can you circle it as well for me? I'm struggling to see it. |
I don't have a pic but it's on the left side(facing the motor) abut 2 inches fromthe top....(roughly)

The grey connector is the one you unplug if you want your low coolant light to never come on ever again. even if you have low coolant. |
Ah so even with the gray connector then?
|
See that plastic ridge on the side of the tank, the top one? That's your full line. The connector is much mounted much higher up on the bottle. I think if you overfilled it would just puke out the overflow onto your power steering connector.

Theres a great big embossed F next to it dude, and a great big L just below it for the low marker.

No it will not push out any coolant if you fill up over the F line.
Its almost impossible to see where the coolant level is trough the tank so I fill up over F. No problems, there is an evak hoose there anyway. |

Be careful when filling... there is an overflow hose on the side (goes down the other side of the tank than the side shown above), and if you fill too fast, some may go through this hose. It wont really hurt anything, but itll get coolant on the radiator, and will look & smell like a coolant leak for a bit :p

^yeah and go onto the powersteering connections....
|
didnt have issues with the connections, but when I was doing a coolant flush, and running the car, I became suddenly worried as the engine bay started steaming... and then smelled like antifreeze for a few days
|
Well dont fill up to the lid of course...
But I have filled maybe 1cm over F line and no problems what so ever. I rather have alittle to mutch coolant then to little... The only way to see the coolant fluid level for me is to remove the battery and the tray, from the left side it is impossible. removing the battery is to mutch work I think. |
I find shining a flashlight into the plastic to the left of the cap works... very difficult to see the fluid level otherwise though... pretty poor design IMO
