if its empty fill it up! also look in header tank as you should never let the expansion tank run dry if the header tank is low fill from there as you'l probably have air in the system.

dan you only top up in expansion tank if its running low. when changing coolant you top up from header tank and the caps are there for pressure incase they get too high and to also help with draining the system
