low coolant
over the last couple of days i have been getting an i on the display with a low coolant message.
i have checked the level and it is ok.
having read the forum it seems i need a new bottle (i have asked a member to price one for me)
my question is can i still use the car until i get the new bottle?
i only ask as i have to do a airport run on friday.
cheers

I had this on mine until the workshop changed the sensor, it used to come on at the start when it did the system check. Drove it for about a week before it was changed, and didnt affect it at all.VW Touareg 3.0 Altitude

As long as you are sure that the level is right and stays so then fine to drive, I drove for a month with the message until I got round to changing the bottle/float

Just keep a manual check of the coolant level & all should be fine.
Sometimes a sensor fixes it, but more often than not, the float (which is part of the bottle) is sticking, thus usually best to go for a bottle.

as already stated make sure you are not actually loosing coolant
i had same error but it was loosing coolant
took a while to fix(egrv valve replaced all ok now)
always keep an eye on temperature gauge as this will
indicate if you are loosing coolant
