Good catch. Actually I used distilled water mixed with the coolant. I don’t know why I said purified water -.-!
George you are right I think I ca live with that at least for now.
Fed man, I don't have as many years of experience as you but this is the first car in 20 years that I have to refill the coolant periodically keeping an eye on it. But I hope that is at you said an the coolant drops (wherever they are) dry and seal the leak, that would be great.
I have a 2016 GTI - While it was in for scheduled maintenance I told the VW dealer that it's losing coolant. The service guy said it's designed it to loose coolant... Long story short we argued for a while. Right now I'm at 51,000miles and it's at the minimum mark.
I have to top up my Golf every three months or so. I top it from 3/4 full to full each time. It's always worse after a long motorway drive. Dealer never found anything and said that it's a very slow leak not to worry!
