Previous steps
●
Park the vehicle on a firm, flat surf
ace.
●
Wait until the engine has fully cooled ›››
.
●
Open the front bonnet.
●
The motor coolant expansion tank can be
r
ecognised by the symbol on the cap
›››Fig.222
Check the l
evel
When the vehicle is delivered (new vehicles),
the coolant may be above the marked area.
This is normal. It is not necessary to suck the
coolant out.
●
When the engine is cold, check the coolant
level using the side marking on the expansion
tank ›››Fig.221. The coolant level should be
between the marks.
●
If the level is below the minimum level mark
(
) on the tank, top up with coolant. When the
mot
or is warm, the coolant level may be slightly
above the upper mark.
Topping up the fluid
When the motor coolant level is too low, the
coolant warning light comes on. In this case,
immediately seek assistance from specialist
personnel.
If the coolant level is too low and there is no
workshop nearby, note the following:
●
Always protect your face, hands and arms
from hot coolant or steam by placing a suitable
cloth over the cap of the motor coolant expan-
sion tank.
●
Carefully unscrew the cap ›››
.
●
Only top up with fr
esh coolant according to
SEAT specifications ›››page328.
●
Only top up with coolant if there is still some
coolant left in the expansion tank; otherwise the
motor could be damaged! If you do not see any
coolant in the expansion tank, do not continue
driving and seek specialist assistance.
●
If there is still some coolant left in the expan-
sion tank, top up with coolant up to the tank’s
upper mark and check the level the next day.
If the level drops again, go to a workshop and
request a check of the cooling system.
●
The coolant level must be between the marks
on the expansion tank ›››Fig.221. Never ex-
ceed the top edge of the marked area ›››
