Hi guys, have a 97 900s convertible with 2.3 litre.
Yesterday, got the dreaded "Low Coolant" warning, which happens quite often (and I think is corroded sender in filler tank?).. Only this time temp gauge climbed as well, then Warning on dash. It WAS very warm here in Melbourne yesterday too.
It appears there is some sort of plastic vaccum controlled diaphram valve in the heater hoses.(1 hose in, 2 out)
Coolant is pouring out of this plastic gizmo, but stops if you take the vaccum line off the valve.
Question... Is this valve able to be dismantled and is it repairable?
If I need to order a new one, is it dangerous to leave vaccum hose off (with end plugged) for now to stop the leak?
Regards Charlie
