Hi Guys,
Let me give you some background. When I first purchased the car after a couple of weeks I received a Low Coolant Warning when the car was on a incline. I checked the expansion tank and sure enough it was almost empty. I went straight to the dealer and purchased LR coolant and topped it off. I did smell coolant. At the time I didn't know about the water pump issues and monitored for leaks. A day turned into a week and week turned into month and the coolant level never changed.
It's been 2 years now with no issues and of course I read about the water pump issues. So with 48K miles on the truck now, I take it in for service and mention to the service advisor that at one point I lost coolant but it seems to be holding. However, since I read that water pumps can go bad, can he check. Sure enough a day later he informs me that upon pressurizing the system they noticed the seals fail. So a new water pump for me...great I think.
2 days later, I start up the car in the garage and the Low Coolant warning light goes off. I immediately shut the engine off and check the expansion tank. Empty...very odd...I top it off and drive it around for 10 miles...it seems to be holding coolant or its a slow leak. I don't see any leaks under the truck.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?? I've called the service advisor twice this morning but he still hasn't responded. annoying....
