Had the coolant changed on the SS on the last service, as it was changed I thought I would keep an eye on it in case it may need a top up. After a long run when it was hot I noted the level on the recovery tank, also the recovery tank was hot so coolant must have flowed into it,
but when I looked at it cold it still appears to be at about the same level, car runs fine, temp gauge sits at the same spot it usually does but does not appear to be much difference in the level of the coolant in the recovery tank between hot and cold.
Thinking about it I think it has been like that for many years, does only a small amount flow into the tank and the level does not alter much? As the VX GenIII's don't have a radiator cap you can't see how full the radiator is.
