Well I have 4,900 miles on my 1LE all street miles. I was thinking about taking it to an autocross event then it dumped all of its engine coolant in front of my house. Now I have to risk my car being damaged as it is towed to the dealership(the same dealership that couldn't fix my exhaust).

WongBob · 06-11-2013, 05:24 PM

Dropspeed · 06-11-2013, 06:03 PM

Any chance it took an impact?

SPCBA · 06-11-2013, 06:15 PM

no I would remember that I drove it home from hanging out with my friends maybe two miles and it was fine I did'nt hit anything I just parked it and came the next morning, checked my levels before I left for autocross then noticed there was no coolant and there was a big pudle under the car and I saw it coming from the bottom of the radiator but I couldnt tell where..

JimE · 06-11-2013, 06:39 PM

You don't have to "hit anything". Typical "impact" is a rock or other object through the grill. Or it could just be faulty, but typical failures occur when it's up to temp for extended periods or stressed.

Sorry to hear, would be very curious to know what caused the leak.

markgws6 · 06-11-2013, 10:20 PM

Damn that sucks! I wonder if something sharp/hard flew up at it and punctured it causing the leak. Anyway, hopefully you can get it fixed under warranty.

Bauer2 · 06-11-2013, 10:27 PM

Damn that sucks hopefully they get you all fixed up.
