coolant liquid above max

By accident i added more coolant liquid in the coolant tank. Now its 2-3cm above the max level, might there be a problem of doing so?

No not really but if very OCD buy yourself a turkey baster from the 99c store and keep in your tool box for just theses occasions.

Or better yet steal the one in the kitchen and play stupid when asked if you saw it ?

What is an OCD and a turkey blaster? You mean something like a syringe to remove the liquid?

As long as there is some room for air in the tank, you should be fine.

A turkey baster is a kitchen tool like a syringe, just simpler. I would not worry about being a little over full.

Zippy, from his other posts, I've found that Genik's native language is not english.

Give him a break.
