Hi guys,

Does anyone else have a weird problem with coolant level dropping to a certain level then stay there.

The coolant level in the coolant overflow tank will drop from the full mark to a certain level then it will stay constant.

I have been checking for 3 months and the coolant level have not drop anymore.

yup I have the same problem, falls to a certain level and then the coolant light comes on in the check panel. It will never drop below that point after that. And I have no evidence of a coolant leak either.

I've written about this twice in the last week!!
Just let the level stay where it wants.
Shouldn't fall to anywhere near where the light comes on though. Sure it's the correct sensor in there, and it's assembled properly?
