Which level?
The same as the pic at the top of thread. Upgo rim on bottle
Too full! It is clearly marked with the word MAX lower down, clearly the grease monkey filled it.
Clearly seems to be in fashion today!
I questioned the VW dealership when mine came back from servicing fill right up. They said that is how much they always fill the expansion tank.
I suspect if it is too much some will just go out the overflow.
I did however drain some out to get the level to the "correct" full mark on the reservoir anyway, and kept it in case I need to top it up later.

Part of the bleeding process with ODIS after opening the cooling system is to fill the coolant res up to the seam, to allow for drops in the level due to air locks.
So there is no issue at all.
The new passenger vehicle VWs come from the factory with the level higher than the max level to allow for the same.
My van was bang on the max line at new.
How old is the van?
0 years at new!
How funny.
Doesn’t answer how old the van is now, though.
As this is something that has become part of the process in the last couple of years.
6 years old now - what relevance that is to the level at new I don't know. It doesn't matter if it is now 100 years old, the level at new will still be the same.
If you read my last comment, you’d see I said it’s part of the process that seems to have changed in the last couple of years.
So where your 6 year old van was at the max line, a newer van would be slightly higher in the coolant res.
Don’t understand the hostility to be honest.
If you read your post you will see that you refer to passenger vehicles not vans, I was just stating what level my van was at when new.
