Coolant warning signal

[oceanicmanta]

this morning, the warning signal came up saying to top up coolant level

 

the temp gauge is in normal range around 90 while driving

 

car is 11 months old & only 8900 km covered

 

is this normal for a 1yr old car ?

 

i called CC & they said to drive down for them to check

Check if there are any leaks and do a physical check of the coolant reservoir if there's enough coolant. With modern car electronics, could also be a faulty sensor.

Car under warranty, just drive down for C&C to check.

I let my car cool down totally & checked the coolant level.

The coolant level was below the black section of the reservoir.

I wasnt sure at that time if that was the normal level. However, the warning signal never came back on.

 

I waited a few days til my Service A & mentioned this to CC. They said they will check for leaks etc.

 

After I got my car back, CC did not mention any findings about the coolant warning. I checked the level & it seems they have topped it up. Nothing was mentioned in the service report.

 

Anyways, I will certainly have to monitor this.

Saw this alert as well. Am surprised it require topup within a year of purchase.
