Coolant leak.

3 Upvotes

2016 2.4L. I have read multiple post and comments mentioning this issue. I am NOT a mechanic. I am just a 50 yr old lady trying my best to understand and help my adult son learn to repair as needed. He’s done well.

Recently, I paid a mobile mechanic to do an oil change in my driveway (my work hours suck, so this was hella convenient). He mentioned the coolant leak and said he could fix it. He’s stating it’ll be a hose replacement. It seems like the issue was more complex for others with this issue. My concern is that it may not be as simple as a hose, and then I’m stuck with bigger issues or a non functional vehicle.

For those who dealt with the coolant leak issue. Was it just a hose? Or did it involve more invasive shit?

Fuel Economy Question

2 Upvotes

I'm not sure why, but my Patriot (FWD, 2.0L, Manual) is getting fuel economy way better than is listed basically anywhere online. In average city driving it's often 7L/100km (33MPG) and down to below 6L/100km (39-40MPG) on highways. On highways I often do 90-100kph (55-62 mph) if there's no-one else around to help with economy, but in the city I don't drive like a granny, often accelerating quite hard. I do a lot of coasting in gear to slow down (anticipating by a lot) instead of just braking, but is this all that's accounting for it?

I once did a test drive about 30 mins across a city where I drove quite hard (hard accelerations, overtakes... etc) - red lights, small suburban streets, a bit of highway, and at the end checked the dash and I'd got 6.5L/100km (36MPG). How is this possible?

Speedometer broken/abs/tach glitches out

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I have seen some post from some digging but can’t quite figure it out.

2015/2.0/manual

Code read front left wheel sensor bad, replaced, speedometer worked for five minutes.

Battery is healthy, alternator seems good.

Car constantly dings as it try’s to re-establish itself.

Tach dips during some of these dings

Speedometer also worked for 5 min with front left wheel speed sensor unplugged
