intercooler question

[aidenblue]

I have an 05 RL and once I saw the forum for the wiring I had to check mine. Now I checked and the wires were correct now, I turned on my car to see if the neck was moving the dex cool and I dont see anything there. Do I need to add dex cool in there or what I checked it and nothing I dont see any liquid in there... Now to make sure its the tube all the way in front by the hood latch correct. If so what do I need to do....
Do I need to fill it up and how. I never done that I need help PLEASE>>>> any suggestions.

open top fill to line you might need to bleed the air out

only add dex-cool if you dont see any dex-cool in the fill neck...the reason you dont see it moving is because its moving through the loop backwards...
If you look at the I/C pump the black/white wire is the negative wire, so if it is going into the '+' side of the pump then it is backwards. There is a TSB that you can refer to when your dealer tells you your crazy.

If it's full, you won't be able to see the flow. From what I can tell, the flow only becomes apparent when the coolant is at the very bottom of the filler neck. Anything else will just show it kinda sloshin' around a bit.

can i fill it to the line with just dex-cool by itself or should I leave it alone because as is my car runs a little below the middle line on my thermosat at 99F outside.

Here is what you do, pinch the tubing on one side of the filler tube, if the level dosn't rise, try the other side (depends on flow direction, and I don't remmber which way it goes!) One of those should make the level rise in the neck, If not, you have a IC pump problem.

if I dont see anymovement is this when its running or when its off. If i dont see any movement should I then take it to the dealer and them to fix the Intercooler pump or what.

If your doing what I said, your car has to be running. you should pinch it pretty hard.

Also, make sure your not just pinching the over flow tube at the top!
