Golf mk8 / Coolant Warning
« Last post by Colh on 02 April 2026, 09:03 »Driving around yesterday and got a nice big red warning pop up about coolant levels being low. Pulled up and restarted the car which cleared the warning - not had it back yet. Checked coolant level and it's right on the minimum line (though the markings are terrible for reading).
Going to nip out and get a bottle to top it up, but given the car is now 5years old and I'm coming to the end of the extended warranty I'm just thinking about the potential expensive maintenance that might be starting to come.
Anyone with a 2020/2021 plate that's seen anything surprising come up yet? I'm hoping the coolant one is just consumption and nothing more serious (its in for a service & MOT in 2 weeks)
