Stephen,
The QV owner's manual states the following on page 70:
Regularly check the mixture level in the header tank when the engine is cold.
The mixture level in the tank should never be 2.3" below the filler plug base.

I usually just remove the cap and check the level. I also check oil levels, look at the smoke coming from the exhaust, and do a general inspection of the engine bay and under the engine for leaks, puddles, etc. |

It was suggested that I get in the routine to inspect my coolant level prior to my weekly drive. I was wondering if any precautions need to be taken when checking the coolant level in the expansion tank? Other than doing so when the engine is cold, are there any other things that need to be done? I have heard so much about the pressure and burping issues, I thought it best to ask before doing anything.
TIA |
