If your car is fine then I would suggest it was under-filled when prepared for you. Only when venting Note: Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap during the venting.

I'm really not a specialist but it seems weird to me first to say that this warning was nothing and second to say it is normal to lose 2L of coolant after 1500Km !!!Ī new engine can run hotter than a run-in engine due to the metal surfaces not being microscopically smooth until run-in and therefore creating higher friction.

Find Reservoir - Locate the coolant / antifreeze reservoir and clean it. I went to my dealership and the technician add something like 2L in the tank and told me it was nothing and it was normal to lose coolant. Open the Hood - How to pop the hood and prop it open.
