If no buzzer is coming on, then you shouldn\'t need to top it up. Obviously don\'t rely on the coolant level sensor, but it is very simple and if it fails the buzzer comes on - so if its not on it usually means it\'s working!

Coolant level should be about 2 inches below the top of the filler neck. And if you put in more than the system needs, the coolant system usually spits out MORE than you put in. So it might be that.

Thanks, its just as I was filling it up and in my mind I was expecting it to fill up to the top not for the coolant to stay about the same level.

Yeah - that looks OK - if you fill it much further, it just overflows...
