coolant

Hey all, I have a LEON FR TDi. I hooked the car upto VAG COM the other day to diagnose an intermittent EML and received the following code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address 01: Engine Controller: 038 906 019 KG Component...

Which sensor is this?? Is it the coolant sensor in the coolant bottle? got the following error code and trying to solve 16502/P0118/000280 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62): Signal too High

I recently purchased the Forge silicon hose kit for the coolant system as my pipes are pretty much crumbling. I know I need to 'Flush' the system and replace the lost coolant but not sure how to go about this exactly, searched youtube for some videos and they are to general for my liking...

Does any one know what coolant i need as its getting low and weres the best place to get it from cheers

Hello guys I'm after some advice , the engine management light has shown up on my 1.4 leon , i have had it checked out and the code had brought up the Coolant Temp Sensor , i have replaced this bit and it has not fixed the problem :confused: , i have also changed the thermostat and the front...

Going to be doing the cambelt soon on the car. Found someone to do it, all i have to do is supply thee bits. What will I need and what does a cambelt kit consist of. Also, (this is going to sound daft), what colour coolant is needed, as there are different ones in the local motorfactors...

I was looking around under the bonnet today (trying to fit subwoofer haha), when I noticed there was a socket connection on my coolant that had no cable or plug inserted into it. Is it mean't to? Its on the top of the bottle, facing the windscreen.

Morning all, Jumped in the car last night and the red LED from the temperature gauge initially beeped at me then continued flashing. After a short while the engine temperature reached normal tempertures. Quick check of the manual showed low coolant level for the alarm and beeping. So check...

hi guys, Ive been reading on here that the coolant pump, pumps extra coolant around the turbo once the engine on an LCR has been switched off. this noise can be heard fron the front of the engine for abt 10mins after switch off. This has been happening on my LCR ever since i got it in Oct...

right, i've tried a few searches on the subject and got some info, but im looking for a bit of clarification on it, just for my own piece of mind I have a 2002 mk3 ibiza cupra R, every morning when i start the car from cold (regardless of outside temperature) the coolant level warning light...

Hi I'm just getting round to ordering a timing belt kit and water pump. i was going to order some g12 coolant at the same time. Does anyone know roughly how much i will need. Thanks

hey guys, last night after driving back home i was letting my car cool down on idle then all of a sudden my secondary coolant pump started making a terrible noise i know they are a lil but noisy but this was rediculous almost sounded like something had broken down inside it?! is this common? and...

Hi guys i have a seat ibiza tdi sport 130pd. Recently the coolant light flashes and beeps at me, Ive changed the one on the gearbox end but the fault still happens. Am i missing another one somewhere? There isnt one on the coolant bottle so im totally stumped as to whats going on. Any help...

Hi All, Had my car about 10 months now, and in the first 8 months of that, I had to top the coolant up twice. Not the end of the world, but I don't think cars should need topping up like that. At this time, my mileage was pretty low. In the last 3 weeks, I've had to top it up twice! I have...

My engine mangement light keeps going on and off randomly but the engine does not run differently with it on or off. On my mates code reader it showed up as an Engine Coolant Sensor fault and we reset it, topped up the antifreeze. As I looked to see where the sensor is positioned and there's a...

after finding some gunk in the expansion tank ( already checked and its not the head gasket) i've booked the car in for a good flushing, is it important to use G12 coolant as it states in the hand book? Also the oil needs a top up so is it worth getting an oil and filter change while its there...

went out to check fluid levels earlier and i came across this gunky stuff in the header tank i've checked the oil cap and there's no sign of 'mayo', the gunk doesn't feel greasy or oily and there's no excess water from the exhaust, no overheating at all and a constant temp of around 90...

Ok before anyone jumps the gun and tells me to replace it its not the problem as Ive been through 3 coolant temp sensors in the past year. Car is 01 Cordoba 90 tdi and the temp sensor is the one that bolts into the rad. It reads an intermittent fault on vag com. sometimes the dash temp...

I have and ibiza FR 1.9 tdi (130) I had it re-mapped about 6 months ago, now running 180-190 bhp and 300 lb/ft torque. I have recently being experiencing problems in coolant pressure, maybe air flow problems? Can i get a front mount intercooler to fit straight on? Would this help...

I changed the thermostat the other day and this hasn't solved my problem of the car not getting upto temperature like it should. I thought it was stuck open but up on checking both the new and old one they both performed the same, perfectly. And at £3 I cant complain that it wasn't that. Now...
