Scirocco Central

Hi,

I notice that the coolant level in my car is now down at the minimum.

It's done about 9000miles and was only ever filled to mid way between the min and max when new.

I can't see any evidence of a leak, is it normal for coolant to reduce?

Temperatues and engine oil seem fine!

Cheers
Andy

I have never had to top up any coolant on any of my recent cars, that said people do say on the MK5 golf forum that they do have to top up very very occasionally

Coolant systems are a bit like Radiator systems in the house, there can be a lot of air bubbles and bends and areas where the water might not get to when topping up. this sometimes corrects itself when the water pump starts up. I would just top it up and keep an eye on it. If it continues to drop there may be an issue.

Have you noticed any white smoke from the exaust even when the car is heated up??
