Re: coolant loss - another thread mentioned about losing coolant hoses and possibly the head gasket - the hoses are between the engine and the firewall - they are about 30mm in dia and get very little relief from engine compartment heat - my dealer noticed they were very soft during my Dinan S2 upgrade and replaced them before I had a chance to mention it to him - preventative maintenance might be to replace every 4 yrs or 45k miles - coolant loss MAY be from these hoses - look for stains on your firewall - just a guess on my part - anyone know more?
