My coolant reservoir was similar.The dealer had the car in for a week to check and couldn’t find any issues.The coolant can fluctuate in between the minimum and max lines.They informed me to raise the issue only if it goes below the minimum line as there is still enough in the system to cool the engine.

So what’s the solution of the problem.
J12 Greece here. The coolant slowly is decreasing.
Should I worry?
Should I fill when it goes to the min?
What’s happening?
I have no leaks

.
Personally I would check the coolant each week as a minimum (maybe twice per week) and keep it near the maximum level.

It all depends on the quantity to add to maintain the level. 1 glass every year or 1 liter every week?

I had to fill 250-270ml after 8000km.
Is this normal?

I had to fill from min to max at about 12.000km (new car).

Then I had to fill 250ml from 12.000 to 20.000.

Now I am at 24.000 and is slowly decreasing.

NO LEAKS

You don't see the leak but that's not normal.

I’m confused because I don’t see something strange at the car while driving. No high temperature. No seen leaks.
I use the climate system every time I drive. Had to do with that?

You should take it to a dealer. Check that it does not get worse, remove the lower casing to look for traces of coolant, but sometimes the liquid goes into the engine. :cry:
