coolant

Hey people. I'm in the middle of giving the car a mini-service before its MOT next week, & today i was gonna topup the coolant. So i thought id jump online to compare prices of G11 (which it says in my engine bay i should use!) The blue stuff! Anyway, after looking up 4 or 5 different pages on...

I have noticed that I am having to top up coolant and am now getting kind of worried about this. I have only owned my 1.4 75ps for about a year now and about 7 months down the line, I notice coolant is about 1-2cm below the Min marker. So I topped it up keeping the 50/50 G12 coolant /...

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is the issue limited to the Diesel? Since the weather has become colder overnight when I start the car the red coolant light sounds and bleeps at me on an intermittent basis. This only happens the first time I start up having left the car outside...

Hi I've just opened the blue-lidded engine coolant in my 1.9TDi (130) to find a smattering of thick oil!!! Warranty ended in October. Any ideas and how much is this going to hurt?!?!?!

As with alot of others I've had this problem alot lately especially on cold mornings. Got a toothbrush and gave the metal probes in the coolant tank a right good scrub at the weekend, no flashing light or buzzer since!

hey guys, out driving today, car was running about 3 hours in total. noticed coolant was low, topped it up and all seemed fine. Then about 20 mins later the low level light came on, had a look round, was getting worried cos i couldn't find a leak anywhere! Topped it up again anyway and...

hello , a friend has a mk3 cupra , and is getting funny readings on her water temp display first thing in the mornings , flashing lights and beeps etc , the temp sensor has been replaced for the green type , i remember reading somewhere ( possibly by m0rk) that there is a different sensor that...

Hi all If you look just below the oil filter you can see where two small coolant pipes go in and out, is this the oil pump?

Hi, I have an on going problem, where on cold mornings when I start the car, I get the coolant level light flashing and 3 beeps. My local Seat garage, have changed the coolant temperature sensor, and the level sensor, but the problem still occurs. Surely there cannot be many things at...

I have the dreaded three beeps in the morning and went to check the coolant level. There are two lines on the exp. bottle about 2cm apart with stars between the lines and it says min on the bottom line. But there is no max marking even though the handbook shows it.:confused: Can someone...

Had to put a pint of water into the water system a couple of months back.. As it is now getting rather frosty I was wondering if there is a way of checking if the coolent/antifreeze level is strong enough ???

My engine light had been on since about 42K but since the car was running ok I waited until the 50K service to get it looked at. The Seat main dealer diagnosed fault code: 16502 P0118 035 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High They told me they thought it was a worn impellor on...

My Leon cupra R has got the engine light on I’ve rigged up vag com and its saying imtermittent fault with coolant sensor, reading too high. GU62 or something I take it I need a new sensor, How much are these? and has anyone got a part number? Also how the heck to i fit it, is it easy...

Coolant pump issue! now with pictures!! Seems like my car is falling to pieces at the moment! Basically, the buzzing noise that I usually hear after turning the car off seems to have disappeared. I understand this to be the coolant pump? Does it come on every time you switch the engine...

hi all my Engine management light has come on again vag com is saying Chassis Type: 1M - Seat Leon Scan: 01,02,03,08,15,17,19,22,35,46,56 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address 01: Engine Controller: 1ML 906 032 Component...

have just had a fault diagnosed P0118 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit high input, so have ordered the part temperature sensor £5 + vat, and am going to fit it, has anyone any idea where it goes, to save me looking around for a long time regards

I've had suspicions about it because the car idles lumpy sometimes, especially when cold, and other people here seem to have those symptoms with a faulty cts. What's really made me think is I had vag-com plugged in this morning and at the end of my 1/2 hour trip to work the coolant temp...

I have owned an 03 LCR with REVO for 1 week now. Love the car, but I have a coolant leakage. The warranty has ran out, but its had a new water pump, head gasket and turbo fitted in the last 3 months. I have added about 600ml now. I have had a look to see if any pipes or joints are leaking...

just bought a 210 LCR with Revo. I have been loosing coolant and have to keep topping up when the warning light comes on. Its had a new water pump and head gasket on warranty before I got it. What could the problem be? Coolant is clean and no emulsification in oil.

every so often i am sat in traffic and my coolant temp rises ever so slowly then when i put my air con on or the heater it comes down to normal 90 degrees. It doesnt happen all the time which i think rules out the water pump but recently it has started happening more often what could it be:confused:
