Post by andrew1608 »

I will be going on my summer hols on saturday with the car and anticipate doing somewhere in the region of 3 thousand miles, i want to ensure there are no troubles with the car, can anyone tell me how much coolant should be in the bottle or if there is an indicator to show when the bottle is full

I just fill mine to the top. Any excess will come out through the overflow pipe anyway.

Mine was always filled to here......others fill it so it just covers the 'cup' thing in the filler neck but I opted for half way up the cup.
