Need advice on coolant and washer fluid

[BMWme]

Hi Bros,

My ride is a E36 325i.

The top up coolant message came on, can please advise me where and how I can top up my coolant tank?

Lastly the top up washer fluid message came on and I filled the washer fluid tank with water to the brim but the check light is still on, any advice on how to solve this?

Thank you!

You can check on owner manual or drive to any workshop to ask mechanic for help. Remember drive to car workshop, if you drive to bike shop... they might fill diesel on your coolant tank.

Yes, all the parts have a lifetime warranty too. They are guaranteed for the lifetime of each part.

I don't even drive, tyre wear and tear too fast. Normally i jus ignite engine for 10seconds and off. Then i go for SMRT bus. I still need to pump 10 dollar per year. Long life oil should be same as long life petrol right? Anyway my fxxking fc already 1L/5km ...... i don't even bother to think how to save petrol. Drive bmw expect toyota prius fc, what a joke

Pipe leakage is very common.
So, after top up it may have drained below set level.

I suggest: Top up full again with colored coolant, drive to a dry spot and leave it overnight or few hours, and then check the floor dapping the water pool with a white cloth or tissue.

If yield colour stain from this puddle, water is likely from coolant. If no colour, it may just be aircon condensation drips.

My 2 cents.

Thanks RVT,

Regarding my washer fluid check light coming on even when the washer fluid tank is full, do you have any advice?

Use masking tape!

Or go to a workshop like everyone else does.
