Coola nt level
Hardly any losses occur since the cooling
system is sealed and it is thus rarely
necessary to top up the c oolant.
The c oolant in the compensation tank
should b e slightly above the mark KALT/
CO LD with the cooling sy stem cold. It rises
when the engine is w arm a nd falls ag ain as
it cools. If it drops below the marking in this
case, it should be topped up to a lev el just
above the marking.
