My car have 5 500 miles only, I have the 2.0L and I looked at my coolant level and I am not at the full level mark. My level is between full and low level. Is it supose to be set at full by the factory?

 

As long as it's between those two marks then it's fine. On some cars it's better not to fill it completely.

The only thing you should worry about is if you come back to it and the level is a lot lower. In that case your gasket might not be sealed correctly and leaking into your oil, or worse, your cylinders. But that's VERY unlikely with a new car, especially after it's been broken in.

 

I spoke with someone at my dealership and he said that when the car is cold its normal that the level is lower than the middle of the coolant tank. When the engine is hot he said its suppose to be right in the middle of the tank. So if this guy is true my car is normal.

 

Correct.

When the car is cool it will suck in coolant.

When it is hot there should be more coolant in the overflow.


Your car is like mine normal.


Aren't they fun to drive.

 

you should talk to The Man and see about where and if you can get some type of FSM for your car. (field Service Manual)
