Being new to my car I decided to remove the silica gel pouch from the coolant reservoir and cable tie the bonnet release cable box.
I was too late with the silica gel pouch. I got it out and it seems complete but there’s silica gel stuck in the reservoir so I’ve ordered a replacement. I did remove it and I tried to clean it out.
I’m getting the system flushed when the cambelt is done at the end of this month.

I took the car for a run and got a low tyre pressure warning. The tyres are fine and I reset the sensors.
The vehicle information display between the clocks isn’t showing any data.
