Thanks mate. I had my other car done a few months ago and didn't need to top it up either. Different dealer. I just can't help thinking that maybe the proper coolant flush procedure wasn't followed. Doesn't it take a while to do a coolant flush? ie the car has to be running to reach temperature etc?
