Coolant warning light

With the car level, the coolant level should be between MIN and MAX when the engine is cold (ambient temperature). If it is below the MIN level, it should be topped up with coolant (of the same product) or distilled water.

Due to expansion, the coolant level may exceed the MAX level when the engine is hot (operating temperature), which is normal. For reasons of consistency, accuracy and safety, do not top up the coolant level when hot, unless in an emergency.

If the coolant level continues to drop below MIN when cold, there is a problem with the cooling system and the vehicle needs to be attended to.

He topped up more than once when the level was below min and I think he is aware that the coolant expands and the level can be down when cold and up when warmed up.

It wasn't clear to me if he (and other owners) know how to check the coolant level on these vehicles, so to eliminate any doubt, I thought I would mention it again for the benefit of everyone who reads this thread.

So after taking the car to repairs they reckon the coolant pump is leaking under high pressure and evaporates due to the hot temperatures, which kind of makes sense as I didn't see any coolant leaking on to the floor of my garage.

I'm guessing this part leaks due to fatigue (being 5 years old)? Keep ya guys posted and see if it fixes the issue.

The coolant pump is a pretty common issue on your motor. I'd be having it replaced if it has been confirmed as the leak.

Agreed, at the repairs at we speak
