Noticed temp gauge wasn't behaving normally on the drive home from work.
Reading higher than normal when stopped/idle, up to the 3/4 mark, but evened out midways while driving on the highway. The red light never came on.
Got home, checked the coolant hoses with an IR gun, 170 - 185 degrees. Gauge is sitting at 3/4. Shrug. Made sure the overheat light still illuminated with the key "on". Later this night, I took it around the corner, got the low coolant light.
By the time I got it home and checked the expansion tank it was EMPTY.
Again, no overheat light. In the past the low coolant light was sensitive to the level being low AT ALL.
Nothing immediately obvious, too late/dark to mess with it tonight.
Any guesses?
