I can't post a picture, but is is the clear hub sight glass centers that are broken on both of mine. The only way to fix it is to replace the hub covers, which the sight glass is part of.

Just walked the 2016 Entegra lot again this morning while we are waiting and I was surprised how many are sitting on the lot with leaking front and rear hub seals with just the short drive from Indiana.

Carbon copy of mine. Had a pressure tester put on the radiator and the leak showed up in the lower corner. Here is the hard part of finding it. As soon as the pressure was taken off, it dried almost instantly. I have looked all over with a flashlight and never found any leaks.

Thanks Noel, will do. I may go over and talk to him today before we leave.

Ok silly question but mind you I'm not a mechanic...so here goes.

Can someone tell me how to check my coolant and how much I should have. I have a 2012 Aspire and have not had any issues, but after reading this thread I realize I need to become more acquainted with it. I have found the sight glass, but what should I look for and how do I know how much is needed or to add? Any assistance and pictures would be of great assistance.

By the way, I'm at Ft Wilderness...just when I thought I had the best looking coach along comes a 2016 Cornerstone, parks right across from me, and all I have heard from DW is "she sure is pretty".

And I have to admit Entegra really made some impressive changes on the 2016s. Oh and if Randy and Carol are on this thread....great talking to you this evening.

Here is a post with pictures of the site glasses and the level of where the coolant should be. http://www.irv2.com/forums/f278/chan...ce-237731.html

The post talks about changing the site glass, but the photos show the coolant level.
If you have to add coolant, make sure it is only the type listed on the coolant tank. There are several posts regarding that.

Chuck,

Might your hub screw be too long and coming into contact with the cap and sight glass? You can check it by screwing the Spartan screw into the hub with the hub cover remaining off. Count the revolutions until it bottoms out or until contact with the hub vent. When you reassemble the hub with the cover in place you then know how many revolutions you are able to tighten before contact with the vent.

Don, The center fill caps where they snap into the clear plastic hub oil window are broken. The fill cap is just flopping around and will not seat to hold the oil in.

Reading this post from the beginning again, I was surprised how many have had the "hidden" radiator leak.

Those that have just been "topping off" the coolant as it's not much, get it pressure tested. These radiators are expensive and I would hate to have to replace it after warranty. I little leak will become a big leak over time. I used less than a gallon of coolant in 9,000 miles so it was not major, "yet" but sure glad it was caught. Thanks to those that posted about the hidden radiator leak.
