Concur with radiator cap replacement[15-16lbs I believe] but need to verify the following:
1- proper method to check coolant level is for engine to be at ops temperature and running; coolant will be visible in the sight glass. Checking and filling when cold will result in an overfill situation.
Also consider:
2- sight glasses have been known to flood internally and appear full all the time.
3- coolant level sensors are known to fail.
4- Alpines have expansion tanks, not overflow tanks. The "need" to add a recovery tank is not appropriate. So first check 1, 2 and 3 above.
