V70 Making Coolant Mystery Solved! Heheheh!!! V70-XC70 2000

I was getting the coolant warning light repeatedly over the past week. Coolant level was always high, so I'd drain some out and the light would clear, only to come back again in a few days, having to repeat the process several times. It turns out the warning light was due to the sensor being pulled out of the housing by the dealer when they did the 105K timing belt service.

The "making coolant" mystery turns out to be that while I was draining the excess hot fluid out of the expansion tank, my concientious wife was adding coolant while it was cool because it wasn't "max-ed" out. Hehehe.

I was thinking of bottling it and making a fortune!

Tom

V70 Making Coolant Mystery Solved! Heheheh!!! V70-XC70 2000

Your wife was the culprit...that's too funny! I'm always after my "anally retentive" wife because she is constantly picking up after me, "losing my stuff." Actually, she just has a different idea about where things should go and there is a system to her madness. It's not unusual for me to spend a great deal of time looking under stacks of papers on my desk, knowing that a very important document, etc. is there somewhere, just to find (after asking my wife) that it is neatly filed away in the file cabinet under the proper heading. But the coolant...now, that's a great one...I laughed and laughed...Thanks for posting this...made my day. Thank goodness that my wife knows nothing about cars, not even how to check the oil, and leaves all of that up to me. If she ever learned something about my computer or the cars, it would create havoc in my household. Women...can't live with them, can't live without them...but thank God we have them.

Ha ha! Truly a gender parable. Maybe if I put level lines on the margarita mix...
