How to top up the coolant in a Volvo car

Model: Volvo Volvo Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to top up the coolant in the specific tank of a Volvo car. Of course, to do this operation the engine must be completely turned off; even better is to remove the key from the ignition. The engine must be cold in order to top up the antifreeze liquid.

The tank is located on the right side of the engine compartment, and is identified by a noticeable blue cap; if the engine were hot, the steam coming out of the tank would seriously damage our skin. We only use Volvo antifreeze to top up, and fill the expansion tank.

Close the cap and we can continue our journey.
