SC coolant line... came apart? 500 miles on 2021 ZL1...
Has anyone seen this happen before?
Some coolant line I believe for the SC seemed to have split apart or something? Not sure when it happened.. I see a little bit of coolant down around the line but not much just some drops, nothing pooled up at the bottom of engine bay or on the floor... May of just happened when I started car up for about 1 minute to get ready to move car onto ramps for oil change but changed mind and shut car off (was raining out and figured I'd do the work tomorrow instead). Just had paint corrected on the car, ppf, ceramic, tint, etc done, drove it back and parked it. 550 or so miles on it, 2021 Camaro ZL1 a10. Thanks!

I just removed that exact line to place a reservoir. That is the bleed connection for the factory fill for the intercooler circuit.

How much fluid came out when you replaced the line? It looks like I lost only a little and am hopeful no damage and went ahead and ordered the ADM reservoir v2 to swap in place and will fill and air bleed and see how she runs, if good.. Awesome.. If maybe pump damaged or anything I'll swap original piece back in place and take to the dealer. I just don't want to deal with the dealer if I don't have to especially with brand new ppf and ceramic in place and worried they will really jack up the paint every time they touch the car, lol!

I would have it replaced under warranty!

If for no other reason than it can contribute to a history of failure. That’s how TSB’s are developed. May be an issue that is just now coming to light, like the valve spring fiasco it takes known failures to make them take notice.

True, I don't think I've seen but one ZL1 here that had the valve spring failure unless I missed some. My car's build date is within the affected build dates but I've got 2300 miles on it now and its been modified and I haven't had any issues with my valve springs so I'm hopeful that the number of cars actually affected is really low. I know mine is fine, but nothing worse than to hear about a new owner that just bought their vehicle to have a mechanical parts failure and have to get their car repaired under warranty.

Me, personally, I sort of have the 2,000 mile mark in my head for a “coast is clear” threshold. Obviously not very scientific haha. |
