Default Engine coolant is often below min level in between services...

Hi people,

I just checked my engine coolant level for my 2008 Audi A3 2.0, and it is below the recommended min level. The weird thing is that I still have 7000km till my next audi service. Is this common? (and why are audi service intervals so far apart when compared with other manufacturers ?) Or should I suspect a leak?

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
No, this problem is not common. First, check if the car is in horizontal position (it’s important). If this is the case, so you should suspect a leak!
Give us news if you contact a dealer.
Thank you

The reason service intervals are farther apart is Audi's only use synthetic oil which lasts longer than conventional.
