Dunno Neutral Newbie April 14, 2003 Author Share April 14, 2003 I was checking the coolant reservior level so might as well open up to see if it's clean and by then thought I might as well take a sniff and "feel" how it smells like...yucks. Anyway, there's no sign of rust when I open the radiator cap and max temperature is at 55% of the gauge level so everything looks fine...except for that smell....

Soya Supersonic April 14, 2003 Share April 14, 2003 Yep, coolants normally smell bad. Btw, what u doing smelling coolants?? Anyway, if u see murky or rusty water, it's time for a flush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
