Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't seen any obvious puddles, but I also didn't look very closely. Where exactly should I be looking for leaks?

Check the radiator hoses and around the water pump. I couldn't find anything myself, just kept topping it up. Eventually the light came back on and I brought it to a workshop to get it checked out. Turned out it was a small leak in the radiator.

Thanks, I appreciate the insight! I'll take a closer look, but it sounds like a workshop visit is in order. The garage confirmed a leak and the repair was 52€.

I also have a V40 and had a similar issue last year. The coolant was disappearing slowly. Have you checked for any visible leaks around the engine or under the car after it's been parked?
