[QUOTE="jarance, post: 188548, member: 21"] bob you have bought a udm that is in relatively good condition except for the slight loss coolant level. Even though the leak is small, please keep a lookout for it as you might experience loss of coolant when the hose break. there are some water hoses at the back of the engine which are slightly obscured that might need to be changed. please change them if you or the previous owner have not done so. I think the rubber hose lifespan is relatively short as compare to other brand. Another thing is, should you ever experienced a engine overheating due to sudden loss of coolant, please DO NOT add cold water immediately. Let the engine cool down for at least 1 hour before you add water into the radiator. Another thing is to choose a reliable workshop. Routine maintenance like oil change, filter and etc will help you to keep the car in running condition. If you observed carefully the area around the speedometer, there are green/red bar around it. This colour bar serve as a reminder to change the oil. Take note that you not be able to reset this "Reminder" bar even though you change the oil. You have to "reset" it. [/QUOTE]
