Vortech Cooler Question
Today after driving my car I noticed that the cololer was much warmer than it had ever been. The cooler was about the same temp as the pipe coming out of the charger. I looked in the coolant tank an the thing looks empty. How can you tell how much coolant is actually in the system? When I shut the car off I can hear coolant garggaling in the pipes. I know I have not done a great job explaining this but if anyone can provide any insight I would be most greatful.

The aftercooler/pump should be full. WHen you unscrew the cap to fill the system, it should constantly flow like a hose. Fill it back up while letting the pump run. It shouldnt gargle at all - that means it's low.

When you say fill it up while the pump runs you mean while the car is running? Should I be able to see coolant in the tank at all times running or not? Thanks for the help.

If I am reading you correctly...you should always have the 50/50 mix in the resevoir. Any excess will just return to the radiator off the T.
Are you able to hear your pump? you might also want to check and ensure the fuse is not blown.

I think I got it fixed the tank below the front fender was low on coolant.
