Xcent Coolant Loss
Summary of the thread
A 2016 Hyundai Xcent is experiencing coolant loss, indicated by a low coolant level error and a nearly empty reservoir. Possible causes include a head gasket issue, water pump failure, or cooling fan malfunction. Suggested solutions involve checking for white smoke or sweet smells, monitoring coolant refill frequency, and having a professional inspection, possibly including a pressure test, to identify leaks or other issues.

Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't noticed any white smoke or sweet smells. To answer your question, I topped it off about two weeks ago, and it's already low again. Where exactly was the coolant leaking in your car?

In my case, it was hard to pinpoint. I suspected a small leak in the radiator, but couldn't confirm it myself. Considering how quickly your coolant is dropping, it's best to get it professionally inspected. It could be a minor hose leak, but you don't want to risk overheating. A pressure test by a mechanic might be a good idea. In the end the complete repair set me back 52€

Thanks a lot for the advice! I think I'll take it to a workshop to get it checked out. Hopefully, it's something simple. At least now I have a better idea of what to tell them to look for.

I had a somewhat similar problem with my Xcent. The coolant was disappearing, but I didn't see any obvious leaks. Have you checked for any white smoke coming from the exhaust or any sweet smell near the engine? Also, how often are you refilling the coolant?
