got stuck with tap water instead of coolant - help!
Hi everybody, I just got a 2001 v70XC in really good condition with 81000km on it. I was driving in the middle of nowhere and the low coolant message appeared. The coolant level was below min. my friend said it would be ok to put tap water in for the timebeing. Now that I've got coolant the coolant tank is full of water which is really bad by the sounds of it. Should i drain the water out? Can I do that myself? The nearest garage (and not a volvo dealer) is about a 2 hour drive from here. If anyone has any suggestion I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to ruin my lovely car for something so stupid! By the way I'm in a hot climate - 30 celcius. Thanks
