Hello,
I took my partners Ibiza for a winter health check at Seat mostly because she was worried about the battery and it seemed the cheapest way to get it checked.
This was a week and a half ago. When she was on the way to work on Saturday the engine temperature light came on and the car kept beeping, so she pulled over. I met her and found the cause is Seat left the cap off the antifreeze!
After screwing the cap back on the engine temperature light comes on whenever you switch the engine on.
I’ve got it booked to go back to Seat on Thursday. However, looking again at the coolant it is below the minimum line (probably spilt out while the cap was off). Is this likely to be all the issue is? So I can just top up the antifreeze and then not mess around taking it back to Seat again?
If so, could anyone also let me know the type of coolant needed? It’s got a pink one in there currently.
Thanks,
Ryan
