Volvo XC70 starter motor replacement issues
Discussion
Hi All,
Replacing starter motor with Bosch unit, they sent the wrong part, need 11 teeth, not 9 teeth. Solenoid got in the way so wouldn't fit.
One thing, when popping the original motor back in until I get the new one I knocked the coolant hose pictured. Lost a small amount of coolant. Before I carry on replacing new starter, will this coolant leak cause any issues when I start the engine? I was going to release reservoir cap and jiggle the hoses, or will there be some sort of air lock? The metal retaining clip came loose so I fixed and now it's fine but probably lost about 1/4 pint of coolant. Thanks in advance.
