Default Coolant Warning

Sometimes when i turn the car on and its really cold it will give me a flashing coolant warning. I turn it off and back on , and the warning disappears. Anyone else have this problem?

Yup, the sensors in the expansion tank are likely corroded. You can tape a piece of emory cloth on a screwdriver and try to clean them by opening the tank, then fill the tank up to the full cold level with distilled water.

thanks alot for your responses. Do you think it would be covered by my certified pre-owned warranty?

Yes, it should be. I don't think it is considered a "Wear" part.

It depends upon how "mod-friendly" your dealer is. If you go with a Forge 007 DV, I don't think they will mind much since it works much like the stock DV other than it is spring based. I kept my stock air box for when I needed to take it to the dealer or in for Smog Testing.

It only takes about 15 minutes to swap it in and out.
