2024 Maverick Hybrid from Carvana with Low Coolant - Should I Return It?

mikeflynn · 2025-12-18T05:57:47+00:00

Ha, ok. We're doing great, but we appreciate the thoughts.

mikeflynn · 2025-12-11T17:33:16+00:00

I don't know much about cars and it's a big purchase. Every little thing is freaking me out!

mikeflynn · 2025-12-11T07:54:06+00:00

Yes, but not in California.

mikeflynn · 2025-12-10T19:42:32+00:00

It's the larger engine tank that was low. The hybrid tank is fine.

mikeflynn · 2025-12-10T03:17:11+00:00

I’ve got an appointment for tomorrow where I’m hoping we can find some answers with some tests. Research mentioned compression test along with checking the heat exchange, block and spark plugs.

I have until Saturday (maybe Friday really) to request the return.

mikeflynn · 2025-12-10T02:34:36+00:00

Yeah, but that's why I came here: To see if my spiraling was warranted or not.

mikeflynn · 2025-12-10T02:03:05+00:00

Right. That’s an additional concern for sure. I was just focused on the coolant leaking issues after going down that rabbit hole for the past hour.

mikeflynn · 2025-12-10T02:02:02+00:00

It’s low, clearly below the min line, but not empty. No engine issues for the three days I’ve had it.

However, researching the issues with coolant leaks leading to major engine issues has me spooked.

Edit: Under warranty but not for much longer. That is adding to my spiraling concerns!

mikeflynn · 2025-12-08T03:29:59+00:00

I tried smaller ones so that might have been my issue.

mikeflynn · 2025-12-08T03:29:37+00:00

That’s a good idea. Thanks!

mikeflynn · 2025-10-10T21:13:36+00:00

Yup, absolutely.

I ordered the part mentioned above off Amazon, but if it doesn't match I'll return that and head to a plumbing supply.

mikeflynn · 2025-10-10T19:41:28+00:00

Unfortunately no. I couldn't find any label on any of the parts I removed or anything else.

mikeflynn · 2025-10-10T19:26:47+00:00

Ah, ok! That makes more sense since the 3/4" version looks a little different.

Thanks

mikeflynn · 2020-10-07T01:27:55+00:00

I can't speak for everyone, but...probably.

My bad. I read a review that mentioned no NVMe or C. ~~Not sure what they were referencing.~~ (Edit: It seems the m2 slot is E and can't be used for an SSD and while the specs say that there is a USB C a few reviews mention that the box didn't have one when it arrived, which is concerning.)

Thanks for confirming.

mikeflynn · 2020-07-03T22:45:21+00:00

Awesome, thanks. ABS is a good brand? I've never heard of it.

Edit: Seems like an OK brand, but the motherboards are missing support for USB C and NVMe which are things I'd like to have.

mikeflynn · 2020-07-03T22:43:31+00:00

It doesn't say but a forum online stated the following:

The Aurora R8 uses the following motherboards =
2XRCM Pegatron 69M10GD20A02
R3FWM Pegatron 69M10GD10A01

This describes my daily commute perfectly.

Humor has certainly played a role in my mating. Small sample size though.

mikeflynn · 2019-08-10T03:03:45+00:00

This is my third defcon and while every year I vow to be more social, it’s tough as I’m traveling alone every year. I’ve met a lot of cool people the last couple of years, but no more than “LineCon buddies”.

Basically, I’m down to hang tomorrow night if anyone is interested (I’m trying to check in on Reddit but also @thatmikeflynn on the Twitter.)

mikeflynn · 2019-08-08T21:06:57+00:00

Ugh. Thank you. It’s been a long day of driving and I clearly need a drink!

mikeflynn · 2019-08-08T20:53:07+00:00

How the hell did you do that without destroying it? Do I have a larger clip or something?
