V60 coolant

archie1982 · Oct 3rd, 2018, 13:43

Hi,

I'm getting a warning that my engine coolant is low on my V60. I bought some from Halfords but am unsure as to where it goes. Conflicting locations when I google search. Can anyone advise?

Thanks

Goes in the coolant expansion chamber, which has a black top but clear body to show the level, top left hand side if you are standing looking at the windscreen front on. Cap has a warning sticker on.
See link which is for XC60 but same on v60

Do not open when hot, leave car several hours to cool first.
Make sure you have the correct coolant, they are different!
You may wish to see where it is going as you should not lose coolant, my v60 was the radiator, not a cheap fix as whole front has to come off to change it
