Is my radiator fluid too low?

[InternetSwag]

Not a car guy, so not sure. But this is a 6 month old Baleno. Checked inside and saw this. I suppose the rest of the fluid is in the radiator itself. Should I just leave it as is? Since my 1 year service is in 6 months

There should be a line on the reservoir indicating the correct level.

that looks like it is on the low side, I would top it up to the full mark

Your owners manual should indicate what kind. Do not buy the wrong kind.

The pic is a bit strange. From my view it seems it is above the low marker and below the full marker.

What does your owner manual says about the fluid marker?

My wife Xtrail owner manual shows this picture

Guys...is this a cat?




Edit, that's not a radiator, that an overflow reservoir.

What about all the irresponsible folks that get theirs topped up at a petrol station?

Looks low from that angle.

Check the min line & top up (the correct stuff).

Go buy the ready mix 50/50 the same colour, it usually says what the colour is on the bottle.

Who the **** was let loose with a koki pen in your car's engine bay?

Simple, if you have to ask on a forum, then Yes.

Wait till the engine has completely cooled, open the steel lid on the front (radiator), check the level, if you can't see anything, then fill it to just before the neck stats. The one bottle looks like wiper fluid and other radiator reservoir, fill both. On most car manufacturers, there would be a line at the top of the bottle that says MAX.

Quality control and pdi - see I ticked it - it is ok.

Can just fill it with water till the next service. But do check where the leak is.

6 months old and it's already leaking... Cheap Indian Suzuki crap. You definitely have a leak. Take it in.

 

[FiestaST]

Yeah that is true, bought new & 6 months later fluid level is so low?

Also the finishing in the engine bay looks pretty poor imo.
