Starting with a fresh fill of coolant, burped, no air in the system.
Drive for approx. 150 miles and the coolant buzzer goes off. Overflow tank is full, dump overflow back in, plus add a bit, and the buzzer goes away.
Buzzer goes off again, no additional coolant in the overflow to put back in system.
All the while, the car is hard to start when cool, acts like it is barely flooded.
I see no white smoke, or smell any coolant. Im an utterly confused.
Ive noticed that the engine feels weaker, and it cant reach full boost (running stock boost).
