I had a coolant leak as well, only when car was cold. Small hole in one of the hoses, the heat expanded the pipe sealing the hole but when cold it was leaking. Pressure test was OK, my mechanic only noticed a hissing noise and located it.

So...I've this issue since now more than 2 months, and it's still not resolved.

No dealer seem to be able to fix it.

The problem is it seems not only related with the long time without driving, but also with low temperature…

3 weeks ago, my car was more than 60h without driving, but temperatures were between +10°C day and +5°C night --> no leak after 60h

Last weekend, my car was only 26h without driving, but temperatures were -2°C day and -8°C night --> I lost about 0,1l of coolant, I had placed a cup under the leaking point and it had coolant in.

When I give my car to the dealer, the remove the cache under the engine and don't see any trace of leakage…. Last time they kept the whole weekend the car in the lift, cache removed with white paper undernath for try to see the leak --> Nothing! Of course, Inside the garage it was maybe +15°C or even more, impossible to have the leak at a such high temperature, even after 1 month without driving I'm sure it wouldn't leak…

I'm starting to be desesperated because my car is not old (2016), low km, under warranty, it costed me an arm to buy, but have a leak that nobody can fix or even see… Only me see the leak in the morning when I take my car and have a pink puddle on the floor + a bad coolant smell coming from the AC :-(

Hi mate I'm having the same issue. If the car isnt driven for 2 or 3 days it brings up coolant light and if lost about half a litre of coolant I dont know where. But if I drive the car every day its fine it's only when it's cold and not been driven. Please can anyone tell me the problem
