Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / September 20035L 8 funny business
my low coolant light is coming on, on occasion, its new, so its not faulty. after driving, my surge tank is full of pressure & bugger all liquid. release the pressure slowly and the coolant level comes up to maximum. if I don't do that and the cars cooled down, it goes back to maximum anyway, im not loosing any coolant. what the hell is going on? does one of my hoses have an aneurysm or something? my cars defying the laws of physics, and im worried. Any air bubbles in the cooling system (when its hot),and running??? i dont know, will have to check it out. > Any air bubbles in the cooling system (when its hot),and running??? Just because it's new doesn't necessarily mean it's not faulty. it aint faulty, the lights coming up when there's genuinely no water in the reservoir. and isn't when its full. > Just because it's new doesn't necessarily mean it's not faulty. > my low coolant light is coming on, on occasion, its new, so its not faulty. Here's a tip: Never assume that because something is new, it's faultless. Such assuptions can cost a lot of unneccessary money... > after driving, my surge tank is full of pressure & bugger all liquid. > release the pressure slowly and the coolant level comes up to maximum. if I > don't do that and the cars cooled down, it goes back to maximum anyway, im > not loosing any coolant. Oops... > what the hell is going on? does one of my hoses have an aneurysm or > something? my cars defying the laws of physics, and im worried. I assume we're talking about a (relatively) late model Falcon here if it has a coolant sensor, so I would suggest you get your surge tank cap checked. If it's okay, get the car along to a mechanic and get them to pressure test the cooling system. It's possible that it may have a compression leak from a head gasket.
