Do you means distilled water is usable? Current when open my radiator, saw some green color liquid coolant.. So how do i refill it, just pour water in the radiator or to the coolant compound?

Any expert can clarify this?

launched on sept 2012 in korea. but not yet arrived here.

i assume distile water is battery water right? No No

I mean filtered water is actually drinking water which are filtered by the filters we install in our taps.

if you want to refill your radiator, do go back to your sc, let them do it for you, because refilling is not just pouring water in it only, it also required adding coolent liquid according to recommended ratio.

Even when you tell that to anyone of them there, they will answer you "OK" or nodding their head abit without soul and passion
response.. giving you more worries and anger also.. hahaha *true story*

If got extra money to spend, drain everything at a workshop loo, but I suggest u just add boiled (cooled) water. But actually adding tap water is OK.. Cuz coolants have rust/corrosion inhibitors.. But at 900km, how coolant level seems very low.. Got leak?

My radiator more worst, mileage only 3000km++ but coolant level is lower than L. I sent to SC at glenmarie, that fella just add water n done.

Don't be naive ler ANY water will DO. Even you put distil water eventually the rust inside your engine block will TURN it back to rusty water. What you need is ENSURE its not dry (if its reducing tremendously mean something wrong with engine)

Will be available between July-Sep this year. Expect price drop ? NEVER i can tell you, you will regret of cabin space if you plan go for K3

Its NORMAL where WATER will VAPOURISE, same goes to COOLANT....so from time to time you need to ensure water level is enough...like ur tires air

But only drive for 3000km++, the coolant level drop from F to lower than L.
So from time to time, i only add water? Until 40k service only add coolant by SC?

So do we pour water into the coolant container or from the metal cap on the radiator?

So complicated, I guess just pour normal drinking water will do..

Thanks for the clarification

tu laaa... mine 45k km aldy... the coolant level never chg since day 1...

Not exactly, imagine the scaling or concentration of calcium etc if you keep putting TAP water in your radiator with your coolant.. As the TAP water keeps evaporating the residue that remains... I would say not really that good.. Bet we don't want clogged up radiators.. =X

I'll reckon to pour in a mixture of coolant + water 50/50. if the coolant is too diluted at a certain point it would not be transfering heat efficiently anymore. I previously used FUCHS coolant + mineral water / battery water. Avoid using tap water at all cause.. Unfiltered water might cause rust/small particle to linger around the cooling system.

I bought 2 bottle of FUCHS coolant previously... got too much left to spare.. end up i use them for my water cooling system in my PC. Not bad!

+1 and small particles.. mud.. and all other rubbish with come along the water.. those are the main contributor to clogged up radiators. Sometimes from green it can even TURN TO COKLAT!!! that's what happen to my gurls vios when the mech keep topping up with normal tap water.

b4 first service when i reset my trip it will be 14.1l/km, after the first service and when i reset my trip it will be 9.5l/km. mean what?

improving? haha i could not be bothered with that reading anymore.. now using fuelly only.. The trip meter reading on the average is not accurate at all.

yes. i also feel that the meter reading not so accurate. some time i tot it is "sok" already
