What to do about a Volvo coolant indicator light?
My Volvo 850 coolant indicator light comes on occasionally. The heat gauge is up a little more than usual. The reservoir has some coolant in it. I noticed that there is no radiator cap. I also noticed the sticker says to only use Volvo coolant. Is that true? With fluid in the reservior why would the indicator light be coming on? A: The reseviour is the overflow, the radiator may be low. Volvo probably uses one of the new coolants that does not mix with ethelene-glycol. Check with your dealer’s parts department to make sure. My Audi used G12.
