Hi
In an unusual break with my life long tradition, I read the user manual for my car! One of the things it says (contrary to what the dealer told me) is that a weekly check should be carried out of the battery coolant, the brake fluid and the motor coolant.
Is that really the case? It seems illogical that a high-end car should require these checks under the bonnet. This is especially the case because such checks cannot be carried out without using a screwdriver to undo various plastic covers to reveal the reservoirs. I have no desire nor skill at all to lift a screwdriver, and feel rather confused by this. It is almost an oxymoron to have a high-end car with more electric gadgets that NASA used to get to the moon, but you still have to unscrew things and check fluid levels every week. Surely a warning will come up in the dashboard if these levels get low?
I am sure it must be wrong and that I have misunderstood,
Could you please clarify for me?
Thanks
