Coolant level at 6.5cm. Is this too high?

[Tel]

Hello

We are now proud owners of a 2.0l bongo. Thanks for everyone for the help and advice gained from this forum.
I am in the process of sorting out the compulsary pictures.
I have checked the coolant level since I took delivery and it has stayed the same and I have now completed approx 2000km.
Out of curiosity I decided to use the lolly pop stick method and found that it measures 6.5cm.
I knew it was above the maximum level but thought nothing of it as it was delivered by a reputable dealer.
It has a coolant alarm fitted (single wire)
Do i need to worry about the level?

Thanks
Terry

Hi and welcome, purchased mine from JAL in sept 09 annd noticed mine was over the max level indicator but after further investigation was told this wasn't a problem.

P.s. Don't forget to post your piccie's of your nice Bongo on "SHOW US YOUR BONGO" post.

that is a bit over full........next time it is all cool.......use somthing to suck out a bit.(not your mouth) a "basting" tube/sucker will be o.k. (don't let the wife see you) it should be on the TOP FULL line when cold (2 cms) and when hot it will raise about 1 cm above. Then always check when cold and it should always be on the full line.

Thank you Dandemann8 and Haydn for the quick response.
I have syphoned off a bit of coolant as suggested.
Sorry for the delay in responding, I wanted to post some photo's at the same time, they are now on the "SHOW US YOUR BONGO" post.

All the best Terry
