coolant

Been noticing very slow drop in coolant level over a period of time with my Ibiza FR Petrol (2005). If it's topped to mid-way between min and max when cold it will eventually drop below the min mark over a period of about 2 months or so (on average that would mean about 2500 miles based on the...

I have noticed the coolant temperature gauge has been going to 90c then falling to 60c and then back up again. The temperature will fall when I'm crusing at speed with low revs to 60c (motorway driving), then rise to 90c when stationary or driving around town (i.e. constantly accelarating /...

As above , Im getting limp mode after quite high speed in 5th gear. I scanned for codes and got 16500 - coolant temp sensor. Any one had experience of this and has it caused limp ? Cheers

Hi, just wondering if anyone has the part number for the temp sensor? (green top) for a cupra r. Also does anyone know if I can get one of these from vw/audi dealers as well? thanks

Need to drain the coolant off my seat ibiza 2000 (Mk3) chill 1.4. Cant find the drain plug underneath the radiator. Kindly Suggest!!

Hi, I wonder if anyone has seen this before. The last few days have seen sub zero temperatures here, and every time I've started the car I've had the coolant light flashing red and a beeping noise. According to the manual this is the coolant level being incorrect, however from what I can see the...

Hi, I have a mk3 Ibiza Cupra which is using alot of water, it needs topping up every 2-3 days. I am pretty sure it is due to a coolant leak from somewhere as the car never runs above 90 degrees and it drives absolutely fine. Has anyone had any similar problems who can offer some advice ...

Been trying to find the cause of lost coolant for 2 months now since i got a tdi sport. Firstly the w/pump and cambelt were done to see if it was leaking, then numerous flushes etc. I then today placed a bag on the overflow of the coolant reservoir and drove the 10 mins trip to work with...

Checked the coolant level this morning cold and it was well below the minimum (on my 07 FR petrol tfsi), went out in it, came back car was at normal operating temperature i slowly released the top of the expansion tank to release the pressure and the level shot to just above the max mark...

Hello, before anyone screams at me to use the search button i have and can't find the answers i need. Since having my front mount i have noticed that the car temp gauge has been known to sit just below 90 degrees on long motorway journeys at night. Driving round town once it warms up it used...

I've been experiencing over the last few months an intermittent issue where if I leave the car a few days without use, when I do start the car after a few seconds there is an audible beep. The beep is the same as when you hit the low fuel marker but the coolant light will flash red and will not...

Hi, My coolant level is bang on max when cold but drops to just above min when up at normal temp (90c) When I open the cap and de pressurize the system the level is back to max again the same thing happens when it cools down completely. Seat have no idea:confused: which is no surprise I am...

I see the above is the replacement for G12+ so is it the best coolant for an LCR?

Hi, Can someone please tell me how to best bleed my coolant system after replacing the stat, as I cannot find a bleed screw? Thanks Toldeo 110 TDI 2001

Hi All, When i started my car this morning i got a beep and the coolant light flashed for approx 15 secs, turned the ignition off and turned it back on and it beeped again and flashed approx 15 secs. After that it just went off and the temp went up to 90o and stopped there. My mate has...

About six months ago my coolant light came on asking me to top up, I did then and then ever since it has needed to be topped up every month or so. When it was in a couple of months ago for a faulty heater motor I asked the dealers to have a look at it and they couldn't find a fault. It pinged...

Not sure if this is a problem but my old car (mk1 focus) I never had to top the coolnt up for the year I had it. Since owning my mk4 20vt, iv been topping up the coolant once every 2 months, only a small amount, about a cup full. Also I notice that on cold nights when shes stood ticking over I...

Sorry guys, the Toledo gremblin has been playing in my engine and I dont know where to post this to gain ur collective wisdom. The car was serviced and MOT'd last week and went thru with no faults. Hubby went to use it to go to work this morning and came in saying a warning light came on. I...
