Yeah the heaters work.

when i picked my car up the coolant level was on max, this was with a cold engine i believe, after work today i noticed my coolant level was just above the min line, the surface was flat, i went and got some coolant, got home turned the car off and wallah, coolant level was max... now i know how coolant works, it expands as it heats up, but never thought it would expand from the min to max line, is this normal? i thought you topped coolant to the max line when its cold, im wondering if it expanded and went over the overflow and this is why its dropped. no sign of a leak anywhere.

that poor man lol, good to know its normal though mate, i use my car mainly on the motorway but when i get home, the traffic through the city is shocking and thats when i see my regens

Thanks Steve, I couldn't really find a clearcut answer from the old Google search, some were saying its not normal for smoke on dpf regen others were saying it is.

noticed that if i put my foot down while its doing a dpf regen the car smokes, its not massive amounts but only does it during regen, its hard to say what colour the smoke is without having someone tell me. but is this a normal thing? can tell its during regen as the rpm sits at 1000rpm and the exhaust stinks of crud.

That was with engine warm mate. Its due an oil change etc so il do that and see what happens.

Cold start this morning, started to hear it after idle settled down.

140k and tbf ive never fully checked, but that was after a motorway drive of about 60 miles, i think it does do it cold too, but id have to check.

had an 8p a3 cr170 for a few weeks and with the engine cover i have discovered this tapping noise, you can hear it over the ticking noise which i assume is the injectors, just wanting to know if its normal? tia noise.mp4
