OMODA 5 Petrol: Rapid coolant drop; check the radiator, pipework and water pump
Symptoms

Possible causes
- The manual explicitly requires checking the radiator, water pipes and water pump for leaks when the level drops rapidly. [1]
Checks
- Check the level with the engine cold, and have a qualified technician inspect the above areas for visible leaks; do not open the cap when the engine is hot. [1]
What to do
- Repair according to the identified cause and retest; do not replace the water pump directly because of a low level. [1]
Applicability and limits

No actual vehicle model has been linked. Do not extend to models with the same name, other powertrains or other markets. Scope: unknown [1]
