Quick question about the add coolant light.

How the f*** do you unplug the add coolant buzzer because my rad is topped off,
and my Audrey keeps making a buzzing noise and tells me to add coolant when i start up, and take corners...

You might have air in the system, but if you want to disable it, just unplug it and ground the wire.

Did you fill it with the radiator bleed screw out? (By the air filter box)

DO NOT disable the sensor its there for a reason. bleed the air out of the system, if it still beeps then check and replace sensor if needed. the wire could be broken or something like that. if you disable it what happens when you get a coolant leak? would you like to catch it and fix the problem or buy a new motor?

NO, NO, NO! Without that sensor it is impossible to tell that the system is low on coolant while driving. For example, if the driver side heater hose lets go. DO NOT disable the sensor unless you want a $15 hose failure to turn into a $1500 engine rebuild.
