2019 Buick Encore 4dr SUV
turbocharged 153hp 1.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 49087 mi | Replacement of a coolant feed to the turbo. Symptoms were a loss of coolant, which I noticed over last (very cold) weekend when there was no heat when the car was idling. When in motion, the heat was sort of lukewarm. A sloshing sound could be heard from the passenger side dash, near the heater core. Also a slight smell of coolant in the cabin. No overheating, nor change in the temp gauge, but I'm pretty sure that was only because the temp was single digit/teens. |
