I have a 2021 F pace 250S with just over 15k miles, a few weeks ago the low coolant warning light came on
I checked it and it was low to say the least, i got some coolant and topped it off just under the max fill line
i have been checking it once a week and it is losing coolant, it falls below the minimum line each time, is this normal? or could i have a problem?
i have until the end of july for the warranty I have owned it for 2 years now and this is the first time the low coolant issue has occurred.
any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated

 

Did you have a coolant flush resently? If you did, there is air in system. It will resolve if you keep filling it with coolant until the air dissappears in system.
It's not normal to have a low coolant. It's been a habit for me that everytime I open the hood, I inspect all the fluids (coolant, brake fluid, engine oil etc). Have it check. It's still under warranty. My guess, is there is a leak (possibly loose coolant hose or maybe a bad water pump) . You may not notice the leakage on the driveway because there is an under tray underneath the engine that prevents it from dripping coolant to the ground.
The bad news, do you notice any white smoke coming from the tailpipe? Look on the engine oil cap if there is a white residue like mayonaise and oil smells like coolant. If you;ve seen these signs, the engine might ran overheated and wrapped the engine.

 

The only services i have had done on it was an oil change and cabin air filter replacement, no smoke from the tailpipe, i went ahead and made an appointment at the dealership
hopefully its nothing serious

 

Have it checked out, there is probably a leak somewhere, but it happens. If it's still under warranty, even better, just get it fixed and move on.

 

I highly recommend getting it pressure tested to pin point where the leak is coming from. The coolant system parts are made of plastic-they turn brown, crack and leak. If the leak is underneath the intake it's a big deal and quite pricy to repair. Definetly get it checked out while it's still covered under warranty-the big coolant repair ranges from $3500-$4300 in my experience.

 

He has a 4cyl, not the same issues as the older v6/v8 models. They have more small failure points, I've done everything from aux coolers, vent lines, thermostat housings/lines, vapor lines at the head, turbo coolant lines, it all goes bad eventually. Most of it is just normal repairs though, nothing too crazy. That's what the warranty is for, use it!

 

Oh that's great to know! Yes, you are correct the four cylinders have not had the same issues as the 6 and 8 cylinders.
Still, while under warranty go ahead and get it pressure tested to avoid any out of pocket repairs once the warranty ends.
