Peugeot 4008 coolant loss

I'm having a perplexing issue with my 2012 Peugeot 4008, gasoline engine. The coolant level keeps dropping, triggering the check engine light and storing an error in the memory. I've checked for obvious leaks, but haven't found anything. The car has only done 13232 km. Any ideas?

A 2012 Peugeot 4008 with a gasoline engine is experiencing coolant loss, causing the check engine light to activate. Despite no visible leaks, the issue persists. Suggestions include checking the cooling fan, looking for unusual smells or smoke, and considering internal problems like a head gasket issue. Ultimately, a workshop visit reveals a small leak in the radiator hose, which is repaired.

Oh no, that sounds frustrating! Coolant issues can be tricky. Is your cooling fan working properly? Maybe also check for any unusual smells coming from the engine bay, or any white smoke from the exhaust. It could be a small coolant leak somewhere.

Thanks for the tips! The cooling fan seems to be working fine. I haven't noticed any strange smells or smoke, but I'll double-check. Where else should I be looking for a leak?

Hmm, if you can't find an obvious leak, and there's no smoke, it could be something internal, like a head gasket issue. But honestly, with that low mileage, I'd just take it to a trusted mechanic. They can pressure test the system and figure it out properly. Coolant leaks can cause big problems!

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a workshop, and it turned out to be a small leak in the radiator hose. Repair cost 52€ Appreciate your help!
