Definitely normal but it should eventually stabilise and not continue to drop. |

I can feel your frustration with the garage. I have very bad experience myself, being a rip off and poor workmanship victim in the past. As a result now, I demand any work on the cooling system and the eventual system bleeding to be carried out in my presence, including a pressure test. With that said, If I can do the job myself, I just do it and have peace of mind. On your coolant top-up question, yes, it is very normal having to add some coolant, even after having bled the system to the best of your ability. As mentioned by others though, the level should stabilize at some point, say after a couple driving cycles. |

Thanks. It seems to have settled now, not topped it up after the last 2 drives which were an hour or so long, so hopefully thats one issue fixed.
