that kinda yellowish plastic tank with a cap on it ? under the hood on the drivers side?
You add coolant to a C240 at the radiator overflow tank. This allows the radiator to suck in coolant as needed when hot.
Remove the radiator cap when the engine is cool and add the coolant into the radiator or you can add to the coolant overflow bottle. DON'T remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot!!!
Radiator
no cap, just the coolant tank, add to this to add coolant../
Radiator. Remove the cap and add coolant there.
there is no real radiator cap. On the left side of engine compartment there is a coolant jug. This where you would add coolant to radiator.
To add water to the radiator on a new beetle, first remove the lower radiator hose. Then add water to the coolant reservoir.
A lot of vehicles don't have the radiator cap on the radiator , they use a thread on style cap on the engine coolant reservoir ( that is the pressure cap / radiator cap )
You can buy coolant that is premixed and is added to the radiator without mixing.
Don't! Most cars have a reservoir for radiator coolant ... add liquid to the reservoir. Opening the radiator cap introduces air into the sealed system ... you don't want air bubbles in the cooling system.
Coolant is added to the overflow bottle instead of the radiator. The overflow bottle will allow fluid to fill over into the radiator.
If there is a cap on the radiator you can check to see if the radiator is full , and if it isn't , " top up " the engine coolant . Otherwise , you check the engine coolant level at the engine coolant reservoir when the engine is cold and maintain the level at the cold mark
