Top off engine coolant Indicator

[LcKenji]

Hello everyone,

Has anyone here had the top off engine coolant message pop up on their MMI upon start, and upon restart disappear? I have no had the chance to check if coolant is low yet, but upon the restart and the message going away I drove the car home and had no issues and no indicator reappear. Cant exactly take to the dealer at this time because of the modifications on the car. Would have to put alot back to stock to not void the warranty. Seeing if anyone else has had this issue or know of a issue with the MMI and sensors just glitching for a quick sec and going away.


Any feed back would be appreaciated!

It happened to me a while back. I checked the coolant anyways and surely enough it was a little low so I topped it off. Haven’t had the issue since and I check the levels every now and then. Double check your coolant cap and that it isn’t allowing the coolant to evaporate out

Thanks for the fast response. Was really sad and nervous about it. ill take a look at the levels later tonight. Hope it is just a little low and no further issues. ::fingers crossed::

yea I had the warning and it was pretty low. no leaks anywhere. I topped it off twice and kept checking for a few days and it seemed to have leveled off and stayed full. check levels often and keep some coolant nearby.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Car is just over 2 years old. Ordered the proper coolant off FCP Euro and topped it off. It didn't need much.

quick update. Thank you guys for chiming in. Looks like in my case it was just low. Took about a quarter of coolant and no issues since. Odd that it used up that much.

That’s great to hear. Just keep an eye on it. Mine hasn’t gotten low since I filled it up but I just check on it just to be sure
