I cant believe I am asking something so simple, but how does one know the correct coolant level on the Xantia?
I don't know if all Xanti'as have the same coolant tank as mine, but its terrible - a small black tank on the left (looking at engine), not see through. Nor can I see any min or max markings at all.
Also, does it have a low coolant level warning? If it is the plug going to the tank, should it bring on a warning if it is unplugged? Because mine doesn't.

I’ve always just filled it up to the top. Seems to work. I occasionally get a warning light when parking on a sideways slope, so there must be some electrical bits.

Re: Xantia coolant tank and level - questions
Check in the Haynes Service Manual (also designated here as the "BoL", nevertheless there is alot of useful information).
Sure there was a picture describing both types of expansion tanks and theirs min and max coolant level indicators.
I remember, that when cold the level should be in between the two marks, but best would be to check it for yourself.
