I wouldn't worry about anything. As long as your coolant is OK 20 degrees is nothing..... now of your in Alaska and it way way way below 0 for a long time your going to have a problem.

I have owned and driven 3 Marauders in Chicago's blistering winters, though not this winter. Never had such problems. All I could imagine when I read the first post, is that there was a lot of moisture and junk in the wrong places, and other stuff got broke in wrestling match that followed.

Zack and Martyo have you guys encountered a lot of coolant fluid disappearing due to contraction? (mustangs and Marauders with 4.6L)
This phenomenon seems to occur when the vehicle is exposed to drastic temperature changes i.e. ambient to freezing.

Some of you worry too much. Do your normal maintenance and drive it.

I drive my trilogy all year, the other day I saw -6 on my way to work..... just do your normal maintenance and you will be fine.... at that temp I do let the car warm up for a few minutes before moving it and I try to stay out of the boost because I have heard of extreme cold cracking piston sunder boost

Once it's warm Derrik, stab it 75 and drift it a quarter mile! I used to all the way down to -10 on snow tires.. Insane fun.

"supposed phenomenon"...........
I did some internet searching and certain VW models experience this.... but your only talking about 16oz. of water. If you keep the overflow bottle at the correct level you won't have any problems.
