coolant topup

Post by tomsneade »

Hi, could anyone tell me if it is usual to have to top up the coolant so frequently...One month ago (when I got the van) the coolant level was at "min" , I topped it up to "max" and today it was at "min" again! Have I got a screw loose, or is that about right? Many thanks in advance for any advice. Tom

Mine does this but I would say it's not usual, it never goes past the min either which is even odder.

have a look for any weeps and leaks around the water junction, thermostat, radiator and any of the steel hose joints.

You need to check these things every time you use them until you've got a proper feel for what they use and don't use. Once comfortable and acquainted with your wbx you'll know when things aren't correct.
