Where does the coolant go in a 1996 Volkswagan Cabrio?
In the engine compartment on the drivers side towards the back of the car there is an overflow reservoir. The reservoir is a sphere, off-white in color and has a 3" diameter black cap that screws on. The cap made to loosen by hand, but usually takes a lot of strength and grunting to remove.WARNING! Do not remove the cap if the engine is warm, hot coolant may spray out and cause severe burns!There are coolant level marks printed on the side of the reservoir. Because of the age of the plastic reservoir, it is no longer transparent. This means the coolant level cannot be checked without removing the cap an looking inside.
