In this video, see how to solve the issue of a low coolant level on a Volkswagen Passat very simply. However, our YouTuber also had to visit the mechanic and had to think hard before understanding what the problem could be. Initially, he had to top up the coolant level approximately every two weeks.

The workshop found no visible leaks, and the pressure test was negative; the water pump was not leaking. Then came the lightbulb moment: the coolant reservoir cap was not holding pressure.

We found it on Amazon with the code B072BY7TK1 for £11.50, with free delivery for Prime customers, and the problem was resolved.
