I started getting a "Check liquid coolant level" warning a while back. On my previous trip to the shot, they replaced the sensor and that didn't work. Then they realized that the liquid coolant container needed to be replaced. That fixed the problem. The shop give me a discount on the repair because of the previous (unsuccessful) repair. |
