WARNING (Continued)

■

If coolant is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

■

Never spill operating fluids over the hot engine - risk of fire.

CAUTION

■

 Do not continue if for some reason it is not possible to fill with coolant un-

der the current circumstances! Switch off the engine and seek assistance from

a specialist garage.

■

If the expansion tank is empty, do not top up with coolant. The system could

fill with air - risk of engine damage,



stop driving! Switch off the engine and

seek assistance from a specialist garage.

■

The concentration of coolant additive in the coolant must never be under

40%.

■

Over 60% of coolant additive in the coolant reduces the antifreeze protec-

tion and cooling effect.

■

A coolant additive that does not comply with the correct specification can

significantly reduce the corrosion protection of the cooling system.

■

Any faults resulting from corrosion may cause a loss of coolant and can con-

sequently result in major engine damage.

■

Do not fill the coolant above the



mark » Fig. 102 on page 109.

■

If an error occurs, leading to the engine overheating, the help of a professio-

nal garage is to be sought - there is a risk of serious engine damage occurring.

■

Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet

impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.

■

Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.

Mark for the maximum permissible coolant level

Mark for the lowest permissible coolant level

The coolant level should be kept between the marks “MAX” and “MIN”.

The coolant can be checked and topped up, if the following conditions are sat-

isfied.

The vehicle is standing on a horizontal surface.

The engine is turned off.

The engine is not heated.

The bonnet is open.

Checking the level

›

Check the level of coolant in the coolant expansion bottle » Fig. 102.

If the engine is warm, the test result may be inaccurate. The level can also be

above the mark “MAX” » Fig. 102.

In case of low coolant level in the instrument cluster a check mark



» page 33. We still recommend inspecting the coolant level directly at the res-

ervoir from time to time.

Loss of coolant

A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the cooling sys-

tem. Do not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a

specialist garage.

Replenishing

Read and observe and on page 108 first.

The coolant expansion tank must always contain a small amount of coolant

» page 109, in section Introduction.

›

Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion tank and unscrew the

cap carefully.

›

Replenish the coolant.

›

Turn the cap until it clicks into place.

CAUTION

■

Only top up with new coolant.

■

Do not use an alternative additive if the specified coolant is not available. In

this case, use just water and have the correct mixing ratio of water and cool-

ant additive restored by a specialist garage as soon as possible.

Inspecting and replenishing

I bought my 2016 Skoda Citigo two months ago and can't find out why it will suddenly ping for no obvious reason, some times pining three or four time in a row. My partner noticed the numbers 1-5 with an arrow coming up on the right hand side of the odometer but we can't find out what they or the mysterious pinging is. Please can you help. Thank you Submitted on 15-9-2022 at 10:11
