Question
I accidently put a small amount of coolant in the wrong place.  I put it in the place directly behind the coolant opening in an opening where the cap says "CHF 11S only". what will happen when I drive the car?

Answer
Ouch.

You put coolant in the Power Steering reservior.

Running it will create problems in your PS system.

If you haven't started it, and do your own work (or a good friend), I would drain out the reservior and refill with the correct PS fluid.

If you don't do your own work, call the dealer and ask him for assistance.

Good luck!
