    Hi All,

    I have noticed that the coolant in my 00 1.4 Lupo is at the minimum level. I've bought a bottle of coolant but has anyone any idea if I could just top it up? The car didn't have the user manual when I bought it and any searches on the web have been inconclusive.

    Would appreciate any advice.....thanks.

    Just top up and check level again tomorrow.

    (make sure the car is cool before you open the cap!)

    Make sure it's the correct type (i.e. the same as what's already in the coolant tank)

    ....... and wait till the engine is cool and the car on level ground. Don't open the expansion tank when it is hot. Also if it's at the low mark and not dropping there is no huge urgency required.
