Also, I asked them to check the antifreeze level as it gets to -50 here in the dead of winter....and the dealer specifically told me the coolant in the tank was tested to -40.
Leading evidence: 'Check coolant level and it looks fine' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check antifreeze level as it gets' (1 discussions).

As mentioned, lift the metal clip on top of the black cap(secured) to a vertical position while you drive, after it cools down a bit check your coolant level by adding coolant/distilled water up to min/max fill lines, drive some more...repeat.

Forgot to check the coolant level this morning before leaving.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So the dealer just replaced my coolant tank (cracked). No problem for the first week or so.
Then the weather got cold. Down to -22C overnight.
Last night leaving work, start the car, everything is normal. Once the car warms up to the point the thermostat opens, I get a low coolant warming. Once the car warms up to the next "tick" on the gauge...the warning shuts off.
Forgot to check the coolant level this morning before leaving. It's cold and I'm sick...
Anyway, same exact thing. Started fine, warmed a little, drove off...thermostat opened BING BING low coolant. Temp moved up about a couple minutes later. Warning gone.
Got to work, checked the coolant level and it looks fine. Above min, not quite to max.
No leak that I can detect.
So what gives? At first I thought maybe they forgot to "burp" the system when they replaced the tank....sound about right?
Also, I asked them to check the antifreeze level as it gets to -50 here in the dead of winter....and the dealer specifically told me the coolant in the tank was tested to -40. In the TANK. That's great, thanks...I know you just replaced the tank and put fresh coolant in it....my concerns is the other 21 litres of coolant in the system
Any thought would be appreciated...
top off the coolant and open up the burp valve on top of the tank. drive around for a couple of days like this. Make sure the coolant is always full during driving.... then close the valve.
edit: never mind, Ryan got you covered, should of finished reading his post first.
The burping will eventually get most of the air out of the system but personally I would take it back to the dealer, who you paid to do the work, and tell them to do it right!!
I live 5 hours north from the dealer. Taking it there is a day off work and a 1000 Kms.
It was warranty service.
I ended up putting 2.5 Litres into it.
A little confused about the burping...and I supposed to leave that valve open while I drive or just open it after I drive?
thanks everyone
