Title: Coolant loss
Post by: blackviper90210 on 29 April 2012, 09:49:54
I've noticed that I have a slight coolant loss at the moment. I can't see any obvious signs, but could this be the coolant bridge that I hear about?  ???

First port of call would be the HBV, then moving onto the coolant bridge and checking for split pipes  :y

Do you know what, I forgot about that one. Easy and simple to check, before delving in at the back of the block and getting lost ::) ;D ;D ;D

Cheers for that one :y
