Hardly any losses occur since the cooling 

system is sealed and it is thus rarely 

necessary to top up the coolant. 
The coolant in the compensation tank 

should be slightly above the KALT/COLD 

mark with the cooling system cold. It rises 

when the engine is warm and falls again as 

it cools. If it drops below the marking in this 

case, it should be topped up to a level just 

above the marking. 

Top up anti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is 

available, top up with clean tap water. 

If tap water is unavailable, distilled water 

can be used. 
After topping up with tap or distilled water, 

have the anti-freeze concentration 

checked, and anti-freeze added if 

necessary. Have the cause of the coolant 

loss remedied. We recommend that you 

consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
When closing the cap, insert it straight and 

screw it in all the way.

If the temperature gauge is in the red zone, 

coolant temperature is too high. Check the 

coolant level immediately:
z Coolant level low:

Top up coolant. Pay attention to the 

instructions given under "Anti-freeze and 

corrosion protection" and "Coolant 

level". Have the cause of coolant loss 

remedied. We recommend that you 

consult your Vauxhall Authorised 

Repairer. 

z Coolant level OK:

Have the cause of increased coolant 

temperature remedied. Consult a 

workshop. We recommend your 

Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Allow engine to cool down before 

removing coolant filler cap. Remove filler 

cap carefully so that pressure can escape 

slowly, otherwise there is a risk of 

scalding.
