Well the friggin trans blew on it and i had to pull the svt out. The contour svt drives worse in the snow than any other car i have ever driven. i guess i need snow tires now or something? Just thought i would share. oh and if anyone knows why the engine coolant light comes on for about 30 seconds while the car is first started, please let me know. Do i have to use a specific coolant for it??? Please let me know. thanks Gabe 98.5 black CSVT KKM intake, BAT Aluminum pipe Tint 5% door dings removed mesh grills

The sensor is placed kind of high in the reservoir so it sometimes reads as if the coolant level is low. I had this problem with my SVT when I first bought it and adding a little coolant solved it right away. Ryan Latest Mod: Mirko Splitter
