My 2001 9-3 Coupe has 24,xxx miles on it and I've had to top up the coolant twice. Both time we got the Coolant Low message on the SID.
I don't see any drips in the driveway and the engine looks bone dry. There doesn't appear to be any dripping around the coolant tank cap, either.
Last time I filled it to the "Cold" line while the engine was slightly warm (3 weeks ago?). Since then it's probably been driven 1000 miles. Today my wife saw it go on again. We added about 1/2 gallon of distilled water to get it to the cold line. It was cold when we did this.
Here's the b*tch, it just got out of warranty 5 weeks ago.
I'll be taking it to the dealer for a 25k oil change and to have them look at this. Anything I could look at first? Any idea what might be causing this?
