Another water leak!
« on: 12 February 2008, 19:15:04 »
My 2.2 decided the small leak i have radiator area.......wasnt enough of a leak this afternoon.

Check coolant came on just before lunchtime.......so when i popped home.......i topped it up......suprised a bit it took 1 1/2L to get it back to the line tho.

An hour later.........check coolant came on again.......

So i drove round to local garage i use and asked them to take a look......as im getting fed up looking for water leaks on it.

Bet no one can guess the diagnosis..........these parts never fail  ::)

I'll give you a clue........rear of the engine.

Anyway its got a nice new one fitted now...... :y
