Hi fellow swift owners
need a favour/help if everyone doesnt mind.
My swift is an older model, the 2011 version and I've some overheating/coolant reservoir problems, ive made a thread previously here about my problem
just would like to check if the level of the coolant reservoir is at this level after youve been driving for about 40mins-60mins or so
this is my coolant level after driving from home to my workplace, about 40mins-60mins on the road, it raises up all the way to the top, is this normal? never quite noticed this before since I never encountered this overheating problem
any help would be much appreciated
Normal. Check again when your car is cooled down. See if the water drop to an acceptable level. You might have added too much coolant.need a favour/help if everyone doesnt mind.

The radiator cap is like the air release system of a pressure cooker. When the radiator is hot, pressure builds up inside it, which releases some of the coolant from the cap. This overflowing coolant passes into the reservoir where it is stored until the engine cools.
When the system chills, the coolant stored in the reservoir is pulled back into the radiator by the reduced pressure. After this liquid passes back into the radiator, the reservoir will normally be left with only 1/3 of the coolant. Therefore, the reservoir works more as a bottle to hold excess fluid until it moves through the pipes.
