Coolant top-up

[DevonMark]

Evening all

I'm off to Wales with the van and mountain bike tomorrow. Just checked my coolant and the tank on the left hand side isn't full to the top (and from what I understand, it should be).

So, is it just a case of topping up that tank with more coolant, until it is full?

yes you should be ok.......................but once brimmed to the top the system is kept topped up by the tank behind the number plate..
give the darlek a blow and make sure its quacking..........and make sure the tank behind the number plate is topped up

Thanks pal.

I've filled the tank to the left to the brim.

So should I now fill the tank behind the number plate up to the 'Max' point, or actually fill it up completely?

[mark]

fill the tank behind the number plate to the max level and fill the tank in the engine bay to the brim

Thanks for clearing that up Kev. I thought Max was the name of the guy who designed the coolant tank

Don't suppose you are passing Abergavenny and fancy earning some petrol money Mark?
Got a pair of captains seats up there.

Sorry mate I'm heading straight to Afan and pretty tight for time (I don't get away from work till lunchtime tomorrow )- want to get a few laps of the trails in before I head home so can't really take a diversion.

Apologies, I'd help if I had more time.
