Coolant leak
« on: 20 February 2012, 18:47:11 »
Hi all, my 03 2.6 Auto Est developed a leak,( standing at front of car ) it looks as though it is leaking from rear right bank, possibly running down where the gearbox meets the engine. This sounds like bad news to me, has anybody got ideas as to what the likely cause is ? Coolant leak not oil.

Approx £40 from Vauxhall.Then depends if your capable of changing it yourself ? I believe theres a guide in the relevant section.Not  a technically difficult job,just a bit awkward. :y
