Re: 2011 C70 dumping coolant

Some answers 1. C70 is a P1 car 5 cylinder turbo 2. Being a 12 year car, I would suggest the thermostat, even with the low mileage, and check or replace temp sensor 3. If the fan isn't coming on, then that could allow the coolant to expand enough to overfill the tank 4. The "octopus hose" ...
