Thanks that makes a lot of sense! It’s just an odd coincidence that one of the first maintenance knowledge I learn proves the dealer is not doing a good job lol
Oh btw since I guess they probably only did a drain/fill and claim it as a flush, should I avoid this dealer in the future? Is it normal for dealer to call drain/fill flush?
I’m just worried the darker color means there’s leak/problem in engine, but I guess I will keep an eye on it then. Been learning car maintenance so maybe I’m just paranoid haha
Here’s the coolant out of reservoir. It is brighter but ford yellow coolant is almost Neon color. Do you think the dealer didn’t do a good job for a full flush?
Thanks! Yea I will use a baster to see what it looks inside. The coolant number is VC13G but I’m not sure if that is the orange one or the bright yellow one. Hopefully the dealer didn’t just do a drain and refill for 200+$
Update, went to the ford dealer and got it flushed and refilled, the color is still not as bright as I expected. Gonna visit the dealer again next week to see what is going on
I bought it used so I have no idea if a different coolant is used. I’m going to do a coolant flush and refill, I wonder if it’s worth it to do it in dealer or any mechanic with good reputation? Does it need to use the ford yellow AF coolant?
Hi all,
My bronco is reaching 50K. When I check the coolant it is sitting at a low level, but before I add more I wonder if this is a normal color of it?
Just in case it needs a flush/change, is it under warranty?
Thank you!
Edit: Could it be a symptom of something is wrong with the engine?
Hey! Sorry digging up this old post, how do you like the result? I’m trying to do the same, thinking about wrap or paint. only thing is my Bronco is in cyber orange so there’s not an accurate wrapping color match it. Ask a few body shop and they quote me around 400-450. Do you think it’s a good...
