Hi
Well the 960 has been in the shop for a week getting some much needed replacements for shocks and brakes, it's had its radiator done this year, thermostat the previous year and the A/C system fully checked and a pipe replaced.... But now we're getting the coolant light coming on - only at startup and very rarely, we've topped up the coolant, but we can't see any leaks.... I drove it for an hour to dry off the car (my dad washed it, so we couldn't tell if the water at the bottom of the rad was a leak or water from the car wash) then I let it sit for an hour and the car was dry, no leaks.... Coolant level seems to be where we topped it off to. When I was looking under the car tho, I noticed a cable and connector dangling (protected by the plastic plate under the radiator), it was running parallel to the wires which feed the horns.... The connector was near the miniature radiator for I guess the A/C system as metal pipes were feeding into it, I couldn't find a plug to stick the connector into tho. Does any one know what that connector is for??
If my coolant level drops I know it could be a failed head gasket (if the plumbing isn't leaking) - but I don't notice any white smoke even under hard acceleration, temperature stays level at all times I haven't started monitoring coolant levels but i'll be checking all this week and for a while to come.
Another thing i've noticed is the rad fan isn't coming on, now it could be because it is still 0°-3°C outside today, so I don't know if it would - I tried turning the A/C on, but I don't think the ECC kicks on the A/C compressor when it's that cold outside.
