I got so lucky pulling into a parking lot Tuesday evening in Denver. Check out the video to see just how much coolant was lost in approximately 10-15 seconds. Luckily, I was turning the car off when I noticed the aroma of coolant antifreeze and then saw the "Low Coolant Turn Engine Off" message on the dash. The temperature gauge was still sitting at it's normal mid-point. Maybe another 15-30 seconds and the engine could have been toast!
Follow along as I open several rows of bent A/C condenser fins in the lower bumper cover high-flow zone with a healthy application of Foaming Coil cleaner to clear out the grime and debris.
After tightening all of the radiator hose clamps I drive Ragnar - The Prancing Moose (2002 Volvo V70 2.4T) on the ultimate coolant test-drive: Flagstaff Mountain above Boulder, Colorado.
