Hi Guys,
I have had my R36 now for just on 6 weeks, done over 6,000 kms and the coolent light keeps coming on ...... the temp is normal so I check the tank and it is totally dry!!! I remove the cap and it majically refills itself to the over full mark??? It is happening almost daily, has anyone else had this issue and what may be the problem, I have had it to 2 dealers and they do not seem to be concerned??

Any feed back would be apprecaited.

Hi Greg,

Welcome to the forum.

Not sure if we can help you with your problem, probably best to ask over at the passat section and see if any other R36 drivers have the problem

First thing I would do is check the coolant level when it is cold to determine if it is too low or too high.

I have had the same thing happen twice to me, where I would get a low coolant warning on startup, and the coolant in this instance is below the min line. However, next time I looked at the coolant level cold it was back to normal. As it has only happened twice in the past year I haven't gone to a dealer to get it checked out.
