Hi guys got the engine coolant warning. What is this? Is it just water in the screenwash thing or something else? cheers

Its a coolant level warning, the sensors in the header tank can be a bit dodgy. If its just a bit low, top it up with water. If its lost loads, you might have a leak somewhere.. and it needs replacing with a proper coolant mixture (and fix the leak!)

Topping up your windscreen wash won't make a difference :grin:
