Hi all, picked up an old Toledo a few months back but it’s just developed a strange coolant issue. Basically a few weeks back the coolant light was flashing and the reservoir was empty, parked it up went to work, came back and the reservoir was 3/4 full again. Since this happened, I’ve had serious cooling issues, as soon as I’m climbing a hill under load the car is overheating to the stage where I have to pull over to let it cool down.
I’m pretty sure it’s not the head gasket as I have no contamination in the oil/coolant reservoir and there’s no smoke/moisture in the exhaust. It’s not leaking as there’s no puddles under the car or anything so I have no idea what’s going on.
I’m planning a full coolant flush on the weekend and I’ll check for splits etc… I’ll see if I can find any air locks as well as that could be causing it I’ve heard. Any other suggestions on where to look/what to replace would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
