[QUOTE="jarance, post: 470514, member: 21"] Not to worry if the meter is slightly over the middle mark. You start to worry when it goes to 3/4 mark often. Normally, you do not need to top up water every week. if you need to, then there is a leak some where in your cooling system. Usually the culprit is:- 1. expansion tank 2. rubber hoses - depending on your model - 4 to 6 hoses. 3. temperature sensor seal 4. radiator 5. air-con heater valve 6. radiator cover cap 7. thermostat 8. water pump btw, pressure test for the radiator does not always detect the leak. I usually fill the radiator to the maximum and warm up the engine for about 5 minutes. Then I rev the engine to high speed and check for water droplets. [/QUOTE]
