    Could anyone post a pic of the cooling liquid level with cold motor ?
    I am suspecting to lose some of the cooling liquid while driving.

    At first I had now and then a little bit of this blue/green cooling liquid on the floor, after driving. Now this almost disappeared ... but my level seems to go down ...
    Just need a pic to see what could be the normal level with cold motor.

    Tnx.

    I think it's 10cm from the top.

    it would be hard to see on a picture the level
    but when the level would be half of the complete height it is ok

    If you overfill, it is designed to dump the excess the next time you run it to full temp. That is the perfect level. Next time it cools... have a look.

    yeah, also it will dump excess if the air isn't properly bled too.

    This I do not understand ... probably because I,am not really technical,skilled in this.

    The figure shown in your TR OM isn't clear enough? ;)

    6 cm down from the top surface of the filler neck (or about where the seam is between the two halves of the expansion tank):

    but this isn't a super-fussy thing (i.e., if it was 10 cm you'd never see any operational problem during rational street use.)
