1 litre engine coolant top up today

marcvtec · 09-17-2019, 07:14 PM

So A warning light came on before I started my engine this morning.
Coolant low, whatever.
Had to add 1 litre of 50/50 coolant to top it up.

Just wondering how many other are experiencing, this. ?

currently 21,000 KM on the odo.
Cheers.

I've already done this 2x over the course of 6k miles.

bengals9 · 09-18-2019, 09:12 PM

Coolant shouldn't disappear on it's own. You should bring this up with the dealer.

16k miles, and happened twice now. I think
there was another thread also about this.

There's a recall on the part

i took mine to to service the other week to get topped off.. since there is no leak water is either somehow evaporating bringing the level down or worse

As I was taking delivery of my car a few months ago, light came on. Dealer addressed the bulletin right then and have yet to see it come back. Funny though, first bmw, and didn't even take the car home and had to have it serviced. Car has been solid.

Interesting to see they also needed to top it up a litre as well

I will inquire about the recall at my next oil change

just got the warning today with just over 15k km , dropped by the dealership and they added almost half a liter .

kdeleon · 10-15-2019, 11:01 AM

I just added 600 ml to my car. This is the second time I have done it in 2 years. Both around this time as the weather gets colder.

stealth70mde · 10-15-2019, 11:16 AM

Had to add about 1 liter as well last week. 23,000 km.

marcvtec · 10-17-2019, 05:46 PM

Good to know.
Thanks for adding to the thread. Hopefully It is just a one time thing to add the coolant.
