coolant

Hi everyone, sorry to be hijacking the Seat site for a VW problem but..... i bought a 1.8t GTI Golf MK4 on sunday and driving around on monday i got a warning on the dash saying that i need to check the coolant and i also noticed that the engine management light was on, obviously worried i...

Got a 1999 Toledo 2.3 v5 and want to top up the coolant but the book says that I should go to a Seat Dealer and get it topped up with the G12 specific coolant. Is this correct or can I go into Halfords and pick up any old coolant. Your help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Jumped in my LCR to go to work this morning and my engine coolant warning light started to flash and beep. Any known issues with loosing coolant on a 210bhp LCR ? the temp always holds steady, never over 90 degrees and theres no water in the oil ? only thing is i cant see any leaks or puddles...

Was just setting of on an evening out tonight when the coolant level sensor went off - Pulled into the local Asda and I've observed coolant in the engine bay, hitting the radiator - spots of, not a stream of (hard to see it happening even with the engine running). Given the trajectory, I'm...

I was loosing a large amount of coolant- the max to min line, in about a week. I got the car pressure tested, and the only leak they found was a small rubber seal to the heater matrix was split- so it was replaced. They retested the car, and no leaks. Ever since then, i have still been...

Hey chaps, Good to see the forum back up. 2 things really.. 1) I got flashed by 2 people the other night... 1 pulled up and said my lights where out - I stopped.. checked them, they worked... got my partner to do the brakes + drive while I could look at them... they worked :-/...

Just wondering what the coolant capacity is on the MK3 Cupra. Going to be flushing the system as I have no idea when it was last changed. I know I need G12 coolant, but how much, is it a 50/50 mix? Thanks in advance!

As some of you may have read Im having to change my expansion tank as soon as I get some dry weather (Hopefully tomorrow!! :blink:). What is the best way to go about refilling the system? And getting rid of airlocks if any develop? Looked in the Haynes but the description aint that great...

my engine management light has came on again and from a previous thread someone told me about Check Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62) just wondered were i can find this sensor?? and is it easy to change?

Ive noticed coolant dripping from somewhere in the engine bay, Seems to be falling onto the crossmember/subframe and onto the floor. Ive not done a coolant change or had the turbo off.. Dont seem to be any wet patches inside the car, I've noticed it drips when the engine is off and cold, not...

This is an odd one, although I am sure its Coolant Temp sensor related. I have previously had Coolant Level sensor issues on my LCR which was cured by cleaning the prongs in the coolant water chamber and the coolant level sensor. Since doing this, the flashing amber light next to the coolant...

Hi all have a LCR 2003 210 version, Coolant light flashes on every now and then open the bonnet all the coolant has gone from the expansion tank, turn the car off wait ten minutes or so for the colling system and the level is all the way to max again. Only happens every now and then had it...

Hi Guys, Having owned my Ibiza 1.4 sport 100ps for a year now I have noticed that it uses alot of Oil and Engine Coolant; is this down to me having a heavy right foot and doing alot of motorway driving or something more concerning. Car has done 80k miles so far. Cheers in advance!

hi... took my cupra out for a nice drive, didnt give it too much as 2nd cooling pump for turbo is dead, get home and find that i have a slow/ish drip coming from under the slam pannel, turns out to be coolant. there are coolant pipes all around under the slam pannel and some plastic unit...

Just been searching but cant see anything on this :help: Has anyone got this in their system and which would you recommend, or any other that can be recommended :shrug: :confused: Any problems or advantages encountered ??? :confused: :shrug:

hi, i have a 2005 toledo 1.6.went on an 80 mile journey last weekend.approx half way there the red coolant light flashed accompanied by 3 beeps,the temp gauge was just under normal.i pulled up let engine cool for approx ten minutes added approx 1/2 cup of water to get the level exactly on...

Hi folks Looks like the coolant temp sensor in my Ibiza TDI 130 sport is faulty. Other than going to a SEAT dealer (nearest is the best part of a 4 hour round trip!), is there anywhere else I might be able to purchase one? Is there likely to be anywhere O/L? Anyone out there know the part...

its the best i could describe it as :p like a diagram for the 1.8 20VT that shows the flow of coolant around the engine and through the different pipes... ive seen one before on tinterweb somewhere but ive been searching for ages and cannot find it again :( Thank you please :)

Hi, Was out in the car the other night for about an hour came home adn everything seemed normal. went to the car the next day and didnt reach the end of the driveway and the coolant light came on. checked the tank and was below the min so topped up and off i went no bother. checked it a...

Hi guys, my car has just gone in for MOT, and has failed on these two sensors. Lambda sensor, and Engine Coolant Sensor. I'm being quoted £100 for the lambda fitted, and £160 for the Engine Coolant Sens. Seems strange as the lambda is 60 quid part, and the engine coolant sens is only...
