So I was completing an overtake yesterday on the M6, middle lane to the outside lane - put my foot down a bit and then all of a sudden a load of beeping happened, warning lights on the dash and a ‘Check Engine Coolant’ message displayed. Then the dash displayed these lights:
Pulled over, checked the coolant, and everything seemed ok. Couldn’t seen any leaks, couldn’t hear and hissing or see any wet patches around the hoses I could follow and get access to.
The coolant tank was just below the min mark, but it’s always been just below this mark as I check it pretty much every weekend. The coolant cap wasn’t loose or anything either. Coolant and oil temps were both at 90 (where they usually are). When turning the car back on, all lights has cleared and it seems fine. Driven about 40 miles since, completed many overtakes and still hasn’t happened again since.
Now, I have some Evans Powercool Waterless coolant to go in, but I’m not wanting to swap out the coolant for that if I have a hose leak somewhere. My car is going for a service in two weeks so I’ll get them to check the coolant hoses at the same time.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anything I should look for or be aware of?
