Default High coolant consumption

I drive a 2009 3.2fsi Audi with 147+++KM. Recently i had to top up the car with coolant, this after some short spirited driving the car gave a warning sign to check coolant levels. Is this normal?

No , so check for visible leaks first. Also look at your exhaust to see if it is white which is a sign of a leaking head gasket. If you continue to lose coolant go have the system pressure tested . Another thing it check is the cap. Is there coolant around the cap and if so replace it.
