it's normal, as long as it doesn't get worse and stay consistent 

those pin hole and evaporative leaks are hard to detect and not worth the troubles to trace

a lot of people will tell you their car never consume coolant (same for engine oil)

that's because workshop top up for them 

until you ownself check and replenish the coolant 

you will know the level will drop over time

I keep a record on how much coolant my wife's car consumes

so far stable at 650ml / 10,000km

 

You took your Wife's Cake Making Jar & put Coolant inside.?Later She thought Strawberry Syrup,add into the  Cake Mix & Bake for you to eat.!!!🤣😩😅

Means thermostats kaput! 24 means output must be 24, not very cold means good!

@Gnahp sidekick a bit,Today just topped up my Aircon Gas,Mechanic said slightly below something pressure "200"..topped up to "225"..now is alright,He said over 7 Years top up a bit should be "Normal".

Yes normal. 100% will have some losses over the years. 
so many joints in the car. 8-10, plus their O Rings, Plus vibration. I would say usually you will not feel this 25 diff. But sometimes you can hear a slight hiss. It’s during only idling on a hot day can you detect the Aircon is not as cold. Once moving and higher rpm it’s about same for such a small diff.

Just to clarify with regards to home aircon and fridge.

for home Aircon there are also joints. But these are compression fit. No O rings.  Very very small and minute leak over maybe 10years or more. 
 

for fridge. No joints. All joints are brazed on. Plus the compressor is hermetically sealed. So zero leaks.

that is why I like to go to those "word of mouth" shops with positive (or no negative) experience from the members here

especially for things (i.e. aircon) that I am not familiar with

don't want to go for a simple $12 hair cut and walk out signing $4k package 😅

[ER-3682]

@Gnahp Little India,Indian Barber only $8.00..No using NETS,Paynow or Credit Card for payment,you won't get "Chop" $4,000.00 Package there.

I have this for a long time

very useful during covid, as I didn't meet the vaccination requirement, I was not allowed to enter malls and barber shops

I used it to cut botak during covid

and cut my son botak before and during his NS

for my monthly haircut, I just pay $12 lah, looks nicer than botak 😅
