coolant

Post by simonruth »

Hi, just noticed the expansion tank (behind the "cat flap" ) is empty. Main header tank is full, and engine isn't over heating. Should the expansion tank have coolant in it too as it has min and max marks? ~~Thanks.

I have uploaded a Caravelle instruction manual to Rapidshare for those people who don't have any owners manual at all - better than nothing.
