Hello,
Noticed on a few 4C's (mine included when new) the TCT oil stands low. After priming, there's almost no oil in the reservoir.
How to check: cold engine
Open door,ignition on. Open boot and leave it for a while. Oil lowers when priming and goes back up after a while. When oil stands on minimum or below the mark = no good. When low oil in reservoir (below the minimum mark) and priming the reservoir is almost empty.
Refill procedure:
Open door,ignition on (primes and the tct oil lowers) and check reservoir. When fully empty refill until the MINIMUM MARK immediatly. Wait for a while and the oil rises to the top of the reservoir.
Please test this procedure for yourself, maybe this is not the right way to measure/refill the reservoir. I've done this to my 4C in the begin when purchase. (Garage said there was no problem when contactin them about this).
Bougth new with:
low tct oil
low coolant
to much engine oil (above top mark dipstick)
All i want to say is: please check the above on your 4c...
Tip for people with a 'yellow' unreadable reservoir: put it in a dark room and shine behind the reservoir with a strong light for measurement.
Please when incorrect , i'm here to learn 🤓
