Having the same problem.
Is it overheating?
Is it full of coolant? Is the cap on all the way?
I'm having this problem aswell. Someone please help :D And my car is not overheating. Is there a way to tighten the hoses you what should I do?
Problem is that the meter is showing up as i'm pouring in the coolant, but it flickers around 5%, like it's being emptied and filled at the same time.
And no, no overheating. The damn thing isn't even running.
Are the hoses tight?
The radiator hoses? I didn't even think they could be tightened. Will try that next time if so.

Did not see any bolts/screws on those hoses either!

Thats the same problem I have. I dont think the hoses can be tightened.
Make sure that the water pump and the pulley are bolted in correctly, if not then remove the fan belt, water pump and pulley, separate the water pump and pulley from each other, bolt in the water pump first to the engine and make sure it's bolted in correctly then bolt in the pulley. It should work correctly after that and the coolant should stay in the radiator.

Thanks to you I could spot problem, somehow the water pump unscrewed itself, my coolant was filling normally in a previous save no problem at all and then today trying to refill it.... wasnt able to like it was emptying as I was filling it..

looked trought the cap covering the water pump and what I see? all boalts unscrewed...

Fixed my issue instantly so maybe there is some kind of bug that reset the water pump status or something

hope it helps
