So i was lookin at my air filter and noticed my coolant reservoir looked empty, so I unscrewed the cap and bone dry! Either they didnt fill enough at dealer or i gots a leak. Anybody else have an empty tank in the first 10-15 HRS?

must have been bubbles in your system from factory. Now since you ran it dry you still have bubbles in your system. Raise the front of the vehicle and burp the air out with the enigne running. This will take a few time so be patient. after that add an oring in the cap and enjoy the carfree rides.

take cap to hardware store and add an oring, i stops the splashing of coolant out of the bottle.

The first time I took my Maverick out I noticed the hose coming off the water pump leaking Out of the bottom of the skid plate I just tightend up the clamp a little and now no more leaks! So check that, the last couple of commander's I've worked on had the same leak

There was a few fellas that posted having a loose clamp at the water pump and at the thermostat. If you don't touch anything, it should be easy to locate when you take it in. Where is it leaking out from under the car. The engine area or up front by the coolant reservoir?

Why would that post offend us?

Heavy, I have been too busy to diagnose. At this point All I Know is the resevoir is empty and there is a puddle under with a drip comming from right under waterpump. I have had my plastic engine covers out to install my ///AIRDAM CVT flange but put the passenger side plastic in last week. When I get home tonight I will take out covers and find out where it is leaking. Like I said she is due for 10 hr service, but it is gonna bug me if I dont find it first. Stay tuned.

I had a hose crimp (they don't use clamps) loose on a hose in between the two cylinders.

Yea, even if you don't fix it yourself, I always feel better diagnosing the problem and then seeing if the dealer knows what they are talking about when I take it in....

Ck all hose clamps. I have replaced a few that were leaking coolant

 

[jhawker670]

I gotthe mav back from dealer. The leak was from a hose clamp at the water pump. They said they have seen a couple like that. Check your clamps!

I just got my Mav back from the dealer. I took it in due to my OEM hose clamps leaking at the Tee located on the upper fire wall. They tried to retighten the OEM clamps, but still leaked. They replaced all hose clamps under warranty. Hope this helps.

I had to replace the Bombardier hose crimps on my 2009 Skidoo because they leaked coolant. I replaced them with the traditional hose clamps and never had an issue since. Those crimp clamps are junk.

Mine has hose clamps on the water pump (see pic)

Yep, mine too. I noticed my skid plate had a tamp spot on it so I dropped it to find this......I tightened the clamp about 3-4 full turns!
