Check Coolant Msg - Is this enough Coolant?

Noobscake · Sep 25, 2016

I had a check coolant level message appear yesterday, so I checked the coolant today, and I am not sure if this is enough coolant, can anyone confirm if I need to fill up the coolant or this is fine?

Does Service A include coolant change? I had my Service A completed around late June plus I have only driven almost 13k in 15 months, so I don't think it will dry or use up that quickly? Plus my temps are pretty steady, never gone red of course...

Interesting ... RED stuff?
If it does not cover that white element then its low (per the manual)

RED stuff?????

yea mine was blue and I do concur. needs to be topped off to the thing in the tank. I wouldn't even know what to call it. You know that looks like the g12 coolant I used to use in the Audi?

Yeah the white T bar is just a level marker ... and certainly hope they did not trade / mix coolants?!?! ?

Yea, I am going to bring in the car this week to see if they can just top it off or just buy the coolant from them, shouldn't cost more than 60bucks CAD i guess..

It looks pink, I did some search online, seems to be a new coolant they use for model mid/late 2015 and onward.. here is the part # for the pink one I think A 000 989 28 25 11

Just had an A service last week so I decided to check mine. It is a 2015 (early) and has the red fluid and covers the white plastic tab.

Doubly interesting ... same carryover engine different fluid color ... thats one way of keeping them apart ?
