Coolant level
 
Very simple question...what level should the coolant be at in the plastic reservoir beside the radiator?

I don't see any max or min levels indicated whatsoever just the word KAL [?]embossed above halfway..[haven't got a manual btw:confused: ]

Can I add one more question here?

I understand that the coolant should be at the Cold/Kalt mark when the engine is cold.

But the instructions for "Bleeding" tells one to fill until coolant leaks out of bleeding screw, which would happen when we fill up to the top. After the bleeding is done, does the level actually go to the "Cold/Kalt" mark after we run the engine for a while? Or do we have to remove some coolant to reduce the level to the Kalt mark?

In other words, "To the top" while bleeding is actually equivalent to the "Kalt/Cold mark" when the engine's cold?

Thank you in advance for any advice..
