Lost coolant and the engine doesn't overheat? Yes I have a car like
that too. My 93 940 wagon is like that. This is the ugly duckling in
our household. I rarely pay attention to it except mobil 1 every
10,000 miles and transmission fluid flush every 20,000 miles. It
never complained. Just get up and go. Let's see. my daughter drove
it to highschool everyday as a senior. She is now a senior in
college. So it has been at least four years I have ignored the slow
leak on the water pump. I just top up the coolant. And the cue to do
it is when she complained there is no heat during winter. There is no
heat because the coolant level is low enough it doesn't get to the
heater core to provide heat. Wife complained again there is no heat
inside the 940 cabin last week.
My SAAB 9000's and 5 series cannot take this abuse. I know. I
finally bought a Hepu water pump this week.
