dissapearing coolant?
filled my coolant reserve about a week ago. i checked it again today and it was barely even on the dipstick. it was probably a bit less than 1 liter worth of coolant, but its still a lot. it never leaked onto the ground, nor did it have any sign of leaking. any ideas on what it could be? TIA

You should replace your radiator hoses, check the ast, and replace the ast cap with a high pressure cap. That fixed my coolant leak problem that I had. Now everything is back to normal.

The good news - this is a very worthwhile reliability mod even if this is not your problem and is cheap to do. I guarantee you the hoses are as hard as rocks. If you bend them, they'll snap!
The bad news - this may not be your problem, or it could be one of several, ie: radiator end tanks weeping, bad coolant seals, hose, etc. As long as your car starts right away and does not blow any white smoke after 2 days of pressurization your coolant seals are PROBABLY ok. But it does seem that even the best looked after seals go at 60 to 80K. Good luck! PM me and let me know what you find out, this takes some patience and detective work.
