2014 proclimb puking out antifreeze ......

[TRACKSIDEDOWN]

Out the over flow hose, only place I see remnants. Anyone else have a similar issue? Has done it twice now. Has not over heated, and have checked running temp. All clamps are good

Are you just idling in the garage or running it in the field. There's not a huge amount of snow out there, it might have just got a little high on the temp scale. It might have just been overfilled on PDI, since its a brand new sled its going to take some time to reach equilibrium and get all the air bubbles out of the system, don't get too worked up over an ounce of antifreeze. if the level in the bottle is good and the running temp is good, then it should be fine. It will expand when hot so if you have it filled right to the full line already when cold then its probably going to overflow. Lift the back of the sled wayyy up on something so its on about a 45 degree angle, then lift the front wayyyy up on something to about the same angle. start it up and let the coolant circulate a couple mins while the front is elevated. Hopefully this will draw any air bubbles to the front of the system and out the coolant bottle.

If the bottle level is dropping and the level is too low, your cap might be faulty and prematurely opening causing the coolant to overflow. The cap is the only redundant thing in the system, its designed to hold a certain pressure.

Had same prob... Changing the cap is what did it for me... Also while your in there tighten the coolant lines

cap was the culprit, strange that it let go but nice simple fix. love the new sled, and the snow is coming down....

having same issue on 14 xf high country not over heating,not leaking, but has pushed all coolant from coolant bottle out overflow hoping it's the cap going to try the cap from my 14 m today,its not losing any coolant. are these caps an issue or just a couple un lucky guys that got some faulty caps?

Unlucky guys is all, I heard of one guy... Then it happened to me... Then this guy and now you. Not a big deal but I got an automotive one from napa and it works fine now. Good luck

Never noticed nor tried a cap, also I've never noticed any coolant leaking, although I over heated on the trail with scratchers down, sat for 10 min and within a km it overheated again so I looked at the coolant on the trail and was down over a litre, took two 500ml water bottles to bring it back up to the line, it was +2 out so I wasn't worried about it freezing, when is got home I syphoned as much out as I could and replaced it with concentrated and it's at -45 now so I'm good to go but I will keep an eye on that...

Chalk up one more with mine. Has done it twice same issues, not overheating and no other performance problems. I'm going to change the ap also and hope this does it, levels, clamps all good.

So did any of you find out what was the problem here? I have the same problem on my XF1100t, pushing fluid out the overflow hose when running full throttle... Changed out the cap and bleed the system for air, still pushing out fluid, but not when riding half throttle or when idle... Any ideas?

On my 800, it definitely was the cap. It was faulty, bottom piece was actually broken and wouldn't allow pressure to build up. Yours being a four stroke, you may be looking at a head gasket leak. Don't know if a coolant leak down test would have enough pressure to test this but may be worthwhile

 

[m1000kingcat]

It was my headgasket leaking... Problems solved, runs like it should now!

You happen to remember the Napa part number by any chance?

Bringing this one back to the top. My 14 started leaking today but it is not the cap that is faulty. The bottle is egg shaped at the opening so the locking tabs on the cap slip off the tank in the full closed position. Anyone else seen this.

Bring back up. I have Another coolant bottle warped again.

My Rev used to do this, and had my xm once too

It's from running too hot and cap conforms the neck bottle hole

I heat taped mine after and has been good ever since

Machined stainless steel insert. Able to install without removing the tank. Going to try it out and see how it works.

Testing went great. Did 160km on the weekend no leaking and the neck seems to be keeping formed.
