Dealer uses premixed coolant. Loosing that much coolant is a problem that needs immediate attention. If you top it up and your dealer is shity they wont be able to ''replicate the problem''. If you admit you drove with too little coolant they might blame other problems on you. Best thing- call them.

Mine goes a bit lower than full every once in a while (maybe every month and a half for a daily driver living in Dubai with summer heat ranging to 110 degrees). I guess it's just normal, no leaks or overflowing, temperature is below the middle as always even at colder temps.

I went to subaru to get the blue coolant. It was ~$25. I noticed that I had lost a little...nothing crazy. I've owned the car for 6 months and it just now hit the low line. When I bought it, it was about 1/2 way up to the full line.

Well my wife complained about some problems with the car as she drove it from san Diego California to yuma arizona. She complained about a knocking in the engine bay and feeling the gas pedal knock as well. She also complained about hearing the brakes whistle when she come to a stop. I drove the car from home to work and I only noticed the knocking noise. I checked the engine bay and everything looked fine, except for the coolant. It was looking low and the theme here alone is well past 100

I just swapped hoses to the Perrin ones with t-clamps a few weeks ago. Also did a coolant change at that time. Car has not "lost" any coolant since. I think that the stock hoses and clamps aren't sufficient to keep coolant from seeping out. My stock hoses always had a white residue around the ends near the fill cap.

You guys have any update? Also did you pay for the pressure test or did the dealership cover it? |

I just want to say that this issue was evident on my FRS as well. I was around 3k miles, and the coolant levels were surprisingly low.

19.000km, its pretty cold here in montreal but checked the car after being warm for 35min,
and its barely half of low. Cold theres no coolant in the tank.... kinda odd but maybe its due to the weather, no leaks apparent anywhere.
