Coolant level in my RRSC

G.P · Jan 11, 2011

Hi RR funs, I have a small question.I was in the mountains and I got a message to check my coolant levels in my engine.Since I was in the middle of nowhere I just added some water.is that alright or should have added a specific liquid??? Thanks and enjoy your rides....

????????? What do you mean ride safe man?

coolant is a mixture of water and coolant so it will be ok to top it up with just water

G.P · Jan 11, 2011

The coolant level was very very low and just full it with water.

howardo · Jan 11, 2011

refill it with coolant then

Errrrr no, not a good idea! Too much water and not enough additive leads to overheating in hot weather, freezing if cold enough!

Recommended mix is 50/50 coolant(antifreeze) and water, though in Cyprus with warmer climate better mix would be 1/3 coolant, 2/3 water.

That was my question.whether I needed to put extra coolant or any other fluid.thanks

No probs; antifreeze helps stop freezing in cold weather, also helps cooling properties in warmer climates........such as Cyprus!

What range rover is it?

i think you mean range rover supercharged?

read your handbook about coolant and take it to landrover ASAP if problem persists

G.P · Jan 11, 2011

Yes is the RR supercharged.after putting water it is ok.I ve got no new message.the thing is that I filled with water only and very little coolant fluid is left. From the answer of the rsts friends this is a problem.

It's an ok temporary fix, i.e. got rid of msg, car running. However, needs coolant mix right for cooling/antifreeze, more importantly, why so low?????? Need to check for leaks, air blocks, or even head

I would take to a dealer ASAP - an eventual waterloss can lead to overheating and failure. a garagr can make a pressuretest of the coolantsystem - It's better to get it checked now - if something is wrong and the car is still under warranty - you'll have fixed for free!
