I bought my VEA D4 V60 back in the summer. Within a few days the low coolant warning popped up and the level was indeed low. Added 250ml of water in to get the level back between min & max and, despite expecting the worst, it hasn't fallen again even after covering around 4k miles.

My theory is that my EGR cooler was replaced during the last service and the system had been left with an airlock which shifted just after I bought it. I have no history for the car, so can't prove this theory, but I can tell from the lack of a T-piece on the top radiator hose that my EGR cooler has been upgraded (a common recall action on these engines).

I've since bought 1L of the correct antifreeze from a Volvo dealer (which is surprisingly cheap).
