low coolant warning light is on during warm-up - luckyron1 - 09-04-2005 04:43 2000 lxi w/500 hp D-60. I just had the coolant flushed and refilled in the spring of last yr. I've looked under the engine shroud and can't figure out where to add a 50/50 solution of diesel antifreeze/water. I don't see a plastic radiater overflow/reservoir tank or what you'd expect to see under the hood of a car and for that reason I don't even know how much to add. Where do I put the the fluid in and how much do I put in? Thanks. low coolant warning light is on during warm-up - g_man1146 - 09-04-2005 05:20 Hi Ron, If yours is the same as my '99LXi, the coolant fill "door" (about 5" square) is on the rear, above the engine compartment door, just left of center. You can access it with the engine compartment either open or closed, an angled funnel is helpful. The coolant reservoir itself is in the engine compartment, top center and has a sight glass to indicate full. On mine the coolant is only visible when warm and adding extra will result in expelling it through the overflow when hot. Fill until it just shows in the sight glass and your low-coolant light should go out. Rich D. '99LXi43' CT --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "luckyron1" wrote: > 2000 lxi w/500 hp D-60.

It's in the center, left to right. John Suter 2000LXi --- luckyron1 > 2000 lxi w/500 hp D-60. I just had the coolant > flushed and refilled in > the spring of last yr.

Coming from 2 lxi guys this has to be good advice. I'm looking at this from my poor email connection via my yahoo mailbox so I'll try to get this out. Can't get to the forum. By the way John, a few months back you helped me on the problem with the ceiling spotters. I have the solution if you still need it. Thanks again. --- g_man1146 > Hi Ron, > > If yours is the same as my '99LXi, the coolant fill > "door" (about 5" > square) is on the rear, above the engine compartment > door, just left of > center.
