Hi All,

My partner has a 19 plate leon and has had to be topped up with coolant already at 13k.

I checked my Cupra, 69 plate 14k and its dropped below the lower level.

I have never had to top coolant up on previous cars, is this a general problem with Seats?.

Both had first services and topped up, so they say.

They're known to be a pig for air pockets. I had a similar issue with the Carbon Edition, it wasn't until it got really hot over in France that it revealed itself. I panicked thinking I had the dreaded water pump/thermostat leak. So bought 5L of coolant to make sure I could get home..

Over 4.5L has been sat under my desk for nearly 18 months now.

So top it up to slightly over the max line and then keep an eye on it, always comparing in the same parking spot. If it continues to lose it then you may have a leak.
