Cars - no engine coolant

If its running nice then it all ok, dont panic.

could be a small leak that only opens p as the engine heats up. If its running ok justmake sure you keep topping it up regularly

Why havent you checked your levels before now!
I check mine weekly!

With older cars, they loose water around the pipe connectors, and through the radiator joints.
Over that length of time, its not a suprise if you havent checked it!

As for head gasket, if it had gone badly, you would see lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust (even on warm days)
Smoke colours are as follows.
Black - Fuel problem (too much fuel in engine) DPF needs replacing (diesel)
White - burning water
Blue - burning oil.

I don't check mine at all generally. It gets serviced every three months... I assume they do it then

It's such a simple but essential thing to be doing. Why risk it?!!

My van tells me when to top up my oil, the red light comes on when I go round a bend. Its clever like that

well the megane managed 360 miles today. coolant topped up to under maximum, it's just above minimum now. there must be a hole somewhere or vapour loss or something. oh well.. when i can be bothered i'll do something about it :lol:
