Warrenty Bulletin: 850 E-Tech Engine Coolant Outlet Hose Leak?
- Thread starter christopher
- Start date
No failure, but had it done last week.
No, but did it to my 2018 just in case.
Few gentlemen on Facebook reported having the problem. Less than a handful of burndowns if any (never know what you read). I thought it was 2019s only? I could be wrong but I think the sheet is indicating such.
Otherwise guys have caught it but did have coolant everywhere. Even presented pictures I imagine it is an easy catch... The gauge would be letting you know it is overheating.

I have not heard of anyone I know actually having this problem
Same here. I don't actually know the people that I heard it from on Facebook. For all I know they squirted their own coolant all over the engine bay but goodness that going to extreme measures for no good reason.
If I could bring up the picture and post I would. Also, seems like some who did report it were on trail sleds. Not saying it is limited to trail sleds but that's what I remember seeing.
UPDATE/EDIT: Found the post of the guy who had the issue and caught it before anything serious.

My ‘17 was getting hot last trip when on trail to the good stuff. All other sleds fine so looked and coolant is low which I’ve never seen on any sled I’ve owned.
Could this be my issue?

I don't think so as this bulletin only applies to 2019s as far as I know but you never know so give the sled a good check.
Quick advice in case ya didn't know.. when the sled is warmed up the coolant level in the bottle will drop. Don't be alarmed if it drops but be alarmed if you don't see any. Regardless, like AK said, you will get warning.
Oetiker clamps require a specific exterior dimension of a hose to be 100% effective. Rumor has it that 'Doo got a batch of hoses that wasn't as thick, so the clamp didn't grab properly. Other guys have reported that the clamp wasn't properly crimped. It's an easy fix and a bunch of folks on other forums have reported their's being loose or leaking.

My 17 gets low by the end of each season. Never thought anything about it especially with elevation changes and hot and cold but I'm gonna look into it. I ride mine like I stole it.
Check them guys, I checked my 2019 and grabbed the hose and pulled it right off:face-icon-small-sho
so eye opener for sure, just glad it was in the garage not on the mountain!

Coolant Loss
I repaired one out on the trail on a Rental 850 . Hose was off and lost most all of it's coolant
