Re: Checking coolant level

Very old topic but I am with the same question. Not sure where are the Min and Max. Is this the MIN level (yellow liquid on pic) or this is the Max? Mine is little lower and I am not sure is it below MIN or near MAX.

Hmm, looks like limescale in there, should I put some Limelite in it? :shock:

It's in the thread, we decided (for lack of anything useful from PSA) that the slot is max and the bar under it is min. As mjb says if you over-fill it when the engine gets hot (don't undo the cap at this point to check it!) it'll spit the excess coolant out of the overflow and it'll end up at the slot (once it's cooled down!), so that's probably where it wants to be.
