Hi all,

Unlike lee67, my Yeti has stopped using much oil, I remember at 3000 miles, I took it to the dealer as it seems to be low on the dipstick, they filled it up to the max part and now it has stayed at that level when warm.

HOWEVER, when I first got the car, the coolant level was between the max and min mark, however now it is very close to the min mark.

I checked this morning after driving for abour 15 miles, and the temperature was fine, I did have the heater on.

I understand that coolant should not be loss, I have never opened the expansion tank. I will be taking it into the dealer to get centre console creak sorted, and have this checked.

Am I right in saying that coolant should not be lost though??

Thanks!

I also want to add that the car has not been reved hard at all, and it only go above 3000 rpm when the temperature was at mid point.

In the topic "Engine Coolant Level"

I wrote the below message. Check the right closure of the cap!

My today experience: liquid 2 millimeters below the minimum.

While opening the cap I heard some pressurised air exit.

This looked strange as the engine was cold.

The liquid grew (I suppose due to the relief of the pressure) and set at 3 mm above the minimum, so I closed the cap without any addition.

Closing the cap I noted a "click" and the upper slot positioned in the "road direction", BUT PREVIOUSLY, unscrewing the cap -I am sure- no click and the slot was transversal! So I suppose a wrong initial cap closing...

Bye.

Brilliant, thanks for your help, will give it a try.
