    Open the cap of the header tank and look inside.
    There is normally a plastic cross shaped post you can see below the cap.
    Fill with coolant until the post is just covered and that's full.

    FYI, my 300Tdi normally runs a few millimetres below the top of the post.

    Sounds good but my Header Tank does not have any cross shaped post in it so obviously some After Market Tank. How far down from the top of the tank should the Full level be? Thanks.

    Hi 1disco.
    My 300 Tdi level sits at the join in the header tank, if it's over filled it always goes back to this level & stays there.
    Regards disco 3 door.

    I have looked at a few sites and spoken to TR and it seems unanimous the level is the joint in the tank .

    Maintenance - coolant level

    The cross is pretty much level with the join. Too much can't hurt as it'll spit the excess out.
