DDifficulty 3/5

Should you check the coolant level in your bus's engine cooling system?

Correct answer

Yes, and it should be between the maximum and minimum marks.

Yes, following the manufacturer’s checks and conditions. In the expansion tank, the level must be between the minimum and maximum marks; it must not overflow or be filled completely. Check it cold when specified and do not open a hot pressurised system because of burn risk. Do not wait for overheating to check the level. Oil and other fluid checks may have different conditions: not all are always checked cold.
