Yesterday on starting the carafter 5 days,  I got the coolant level warning. The warning disappeared after 3 restarts. But it's back again today. 

On checking it,  it seems just below the MIN mark.

I looked for the specification of coolant and found G12 on a digital manual I downloaded. But in printed manual that came with the car,  it mentions G13. I searched in couple of filing stations here,  and none of them have G13. I found G12. Can top up with it? 

Thanks. 

 

vRS with 10K kms on the clock.

Amazon have it on stock if you’re stuck.

Expansion tank should have required coolant marked on it G12 or G13

@ThreeSixty In answer to your question - yes, you can mix G12 and G13 on refilling/topping up.

Neat G12/13 is fine as a top up

Thanks Kenny R, will look at the tank again...

 

Thanks Arkaig, that extract sure does dispel any doubts. 

 

Could'nt find a G13, finally got a G12++. SHELL Longlife G 12++

@ThreeSixty

After you have done a top up this time to MAX or just below MAX do not do another top up before letting a Dealership know and have this logged and investigated?

?

Did you check what the level was when you collected the car, and how many km has the car done since you got it?

I had the same on my last Yeti and wifes Karoq

 

Seems like there must have been a mall air lock somewhere in both - because after topping up the one time never needed to do it again on either car.

 

 

Will do @e-Roottoot. I had not checked the level on delivery. Got the warning at 10,100 kms to be precise. Came as a surprise to me as I've never topped up coolant in my previous cars ( 3 - all non-Skoda) just regular servicing.

I filled it to between MAX and min to not Max level. The level was indeed below the MIN mark. 

 

 

Fond an useful thread if anyone faces a similar dilemma.
