Astra 1.6T Petrol - Coolant Leak
« on: 12 August 2018, 15:50:20 »
Next door have a 1.6 T Astra J, it's developed a water leak. I've offered to get it up on my ramps for a look, I've never stuck my head under the bonnet of an Astra.

Off to Google for common areas, but any areas I should really check? I'll be looking around belt areas for water pump leak, HBV (if I can locate it) and radiator area.

Check for oil in the coolant too. Did an oil cooler on one only a month ago. Vauxhall had lots on the shelf...

Check the hard plastic throttle body pipe which runs from the back left of the engine to the star at the right side
