Where is my coolant going??
I keep losing coolant. I filled it up about 3 weeks ago and I just got another warning for low engine coolant.
No puddles under the car. Anywhere. I always park in the same spaces. No smoke out the back. Nothing on the oil cap and oil looks clean. Really confusing. Anyone have any thoughts? |

I had the same thing happen-had a leak in the turbo coolant line fittings. Coolant was slowly leaking onto engine and burning up so no drips or leaks onto floor. Only symptom was an intermittent slight smell of burning coolant. I believe it is a common problem.

Get your oil tested by blackstone.

What year is your car?
I had the same exact issue when I had my 2013, I took it in for service and the SA notified me that there was a known problem with the turbo coolant lines as others said above. The fix does look like BS but after I had it done I never got the light again. AWF10M5 Did the coolant light come on again when the car was in your ownership?
