Nope. Haven't. Guess I'd better.

Bump... Whats up guys, nobody wants to take a quick peak in your coolant filler neck??..

Are you scared of what you might find

P.S.. Check it when the motor is fully cooled down..

Truly, why not? It's one of the easiest vital fluids to check... and its worth a look, I was very surprised to see how little coolant was in my reservoir tank before I topped up.

Now in my case I found I had somehow knocked the reservoir cap slightly open as I worked--just about a week later quite a bit of coolant had evaporated. The level being at or below the neck of radiator hose however, seems to be normal for me, its been that way every time I've checked.

I did eventually look and found that all three of my family's Yarises have the system working properly, with the radiator neck full up to the cap, no air space, and the overflow bottle filled about halfway when cold.

Hilton/All...

Do you think there might be an air pocket or a defective rad cap??

Hilton.. If I understand your responce, does your overflow bottle rise to the full mark when the motor is warmed up and will then drop back down to the half way point of the overflow bottle when the motor cools?

I have ask the same question on another forum and few yaris (sedan) owners and they all have the same situation. Very odd...
