The low coolant alarm has been going off on my FSI, at first I thought this was just because it was being started on a slope but when I checked recently the coolant was slightly below the min so I topped it up by about half a litre. This was fine for a week or so but yesterday the alert came on again and when I checked the level had fallen below the minimum.
there appears to be signs that the coolant is coming from the tank itself in some way as there is a white residue which looks like evaporated coolant.
The engine looks very clean othersie and has done less than 60k.
I rather fear the head gasket may have blown - any other ideas?
