Hi all. A2 has needed coolant topping up a couple of times since I did a coolant flush and refill on Sunday.
Not sure if this is just the coolant working it's way through system or what. One concern is that I ran the engine for about ten minutes with virtually no coolant in the radiator. I'm not sure if this would have harmed the engine but I did realise the problem and rectified it straight away.
When the engine was running with the empty radiator, I noticed that the return pipe going into the coolant reservoir was flowing with a frothy sort of coolant. No froth now since I filled the radiator but still sipping that coolant. Mind you I can't have done more than 30 miles or so since the job was done.
Anyone else had this?
