I dunno if it's low or not, I haven't looked yet. When the message came on it was dark out and it has been raining all day/night, so I didn't want to pop the hood and start messing around with all that stuff in the rain. I'm assuming it is the sensor, and not low coolant. I've only had the darn thing for 2 weeks !! |

Had that message on the wife's FL2 last weekend after we drove down to Lake of Menteith, checked it and the coolant was on the minimum line, topped it up and appears to be fine since. ______________________

Dont you have covered filling stations in Virginia - I suggest you fill up at the local gas station and have a look under the bonnet (hood) at the same time In fact that should be done as the normal weekly check according to the FL2 owners handbook page 158 - Don't just rely on the dashboard telling you everything you need to check 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

My Audi very slowly used coolant , it eventually got a new cylinder head 1 week before the warranty ran out, after a few cross words with the dealerships service manager.

FL2's, D3's & RRS's appear to 'use' coolant, never found any leaks though and not had any issues even on high mileage vehicles - possibly the OAT coolant 'gasses' more than the traditional ethelyne glycol?

The message comes up if descend hills often, the difference between high and low coolant on the bottle is not very much, i top it up till above max. Happened 2 me 4 times now and i've got 92000km on. |

Noticed this issue myself when I first bought the car in 2007. Seems to have resolved itself thankfully within a month or so. Earlier last month, I received a letter about a voluntary recall to check for a known problem with coolant leaks. |

Happened to me also, especially when I parked the car on slight hills. I checked the coolant level and it was about 1/4 between the MIN and MAX marks. Then I went to the dealer and they told me that if I park on hills and the coolant was low, I was going to have the Low Coolant Warning. They topped it up, and haven't seen the warning again. 2008 Freelander 2 Td4 HSE Buckingham Blue
