ok so yesterday while going through Texas gift a low coolant alarm. Pulled over to the shoulder to check and add coolant but when I released the cap and released the pressure all the coolant rushed back into the tank. So my question is,
1. Why?
2. Dose this engine have an air pressure feed to the coolant system?
Granted it was hot in Texas at 106 coolant temp was at 200 degrees but after I released the pressure temp dropped to around 180. This is my first Volvo so be gentle lol
d16 coolant pressure

It only happened once it is a 50/50 blend. It sucked it down then when I opened the tank it flowed back up to max again. That's why I asked if Volvo pressurized the tank. Wondering if I might have a bad check valve. No smell, was on flat ground at the time and did not happen when I got to a hill
UhOhh Thanks this. -

yes on d 16 sometimes they do they have a solenoid that supplies a certain amount of air psi to cooling system only in 780,670,630 the 880 doesnt have it, probably from outside temp being so high the cooling system on the truck was going crazy just trying to keep up with it if its not an ongoing issue than dont worry to much about it, the only thing i could suggest is try to change the cap on the driver side of surge tank since this is the psi cap in that system thats what controls how much psi goes in the system sometimes they go bad again most likely im just guessing it would be from excessive outside temps
