Default Replaced my Coolant Expansion Tank...
and now my coolant alarm no longer comes on in colder weather for the first few minutes.

Thanks to those who mentioned this fix in their posts. Total cost was $15 and about 30 mins. Another successful fix at home.

Thanks All!

Default I fixed my leaky water pump and refilled my coolant>>
no more problems. Did you try just adding fluid first?

Default I had mine replaced under warranty last year...>>
The coolant light would come on when the car was cold but go off as the car warmed up.

Default fluid was fine... took out as much as I put in
used a baster to remove the fluid. Then poured it back in when I was done.

You'll need a baster (like for meat) to withdraw the existing fluid from your tank. Then replace the tank and pour the fluid in. Pretty simple.

If the link fails... their part number is #1J0121403B<ul><li><a href="http://www.impexfap.com/partlist.cfm?getpart=0&amp;part_id=76638#part76638 ">the tank is here... $30 I got mine from a friend though</a></li></ul>
