2004 Vue coolant problem solved
As per the suggestion, I popped the hood this morning, took one look at the
coolant tank and discovered the problem...at the last oil change, they'd forgotten to put the cap back on the coolant tank. Fortunately it was still sitting on the engine block where they'd left it. Next oil change I'll get reimbursed or a credit for the coolant I bought. I knw it shouldn't have been low, but the advice to routinely check things out is very much appreciated.

Which coolant did you buy? And did the dealer perform the service?

Very good - I have an older S Series and there was a bit of a learning curve
for me regarding the orange (Dex-cool) or green stuff and the kid at the parts store said something about that's how the dealer tells you've worked on the car by using the wrong stuff. I must of had my 'Dumb Old Fart' had on that day...

>How much of the gallon of coolant did you use?
>less than half? Then dont worry about it. > It was less then half. Whew! I was just so mad at the whole mess that I didn't bother to read the instructions. I'll go sit in the corner now : ) Margaret FPC Victor Collins Keeper of the Chick Magnet Magic |
