coolant

Recently had my car service and i told them that sometimes when the engine is cold the red coolant light flashes on and beeps but my coolant level is fine (if i switch they engine of and start it up again its ok). They told me that they couldn't find any faults but they have topped it up over...

Hi, in the last 2 weeks my car seems to be using coolant. I've topped it up and within the week (about 350 miles) it's down below the Minimum level. I've had a look for leaks and checked the top hoses going to the radiator. It can't be a big leak as it's taking a week to drop down. Where...

Ok so my cambelt is up for renewal shortly going to change the water pump with it as well. have read on here that many people use dishwasher tablets as a prefered method to any commercial flushing agent...would be very intrigued if could get some opinions on this!? links...

I need to top up my coolant but as i have only had the car 2 months I dont know what type of antifreeze has been put in it and dont want to mix them. Is it a simple job to replace the coolant in the ibizas? How many litres do i need? And while im at it what should the temperature gauge...

Just been out in the car but had no heaters? Checked the water level and was low, filled it up but still got no heat after running etc. There seemed to be a fairly steady stream coming from the expansion bottle, which i assume needs replacing and all water pipes checking and reclamping - is...

Help please, gave my car a good detailing today and lifted the bonnet to wipe round, :( Noticed the coolant header tank has a coating of crap on it. Took the lid off to find a single lump of coolant in there. not nice pink G12 but brown rubbery looking baby poo. Strange thing is that the car...

I've got a 2004 1.8 20VT FR (from new) with 32,000 miles on the clock. Last Thursday evening I parked after a short 10 min journey, only to see steam wafting through the beams of my headlights before I shut off. Rather concerned I jumped out and looked at the front and under the bonnet - but it...

Hey, Has anyone with an AZD engine changed the coolant temp sensor? If so can you please help me in guiding me to where it is located? I cannot find the damn thing [:@], also if you need to remove the engine cover can you also please advise how to do this also:) Cheers much appreciated.

Morning all I have a 2005 Leon FR Tdi, 40k miles, recent service... In the last two days (during the cold snap coincidentally), when I have turned the ignition on in the morning the light to the top of the coolant temp gauge has flashed repeatedly and 'bonged' a few times. After about...

You're probably all currently watching Top Gear (in Pause mode as we speak) but when you return.... Anyone had coolant loss problems? Today whilst driving on the motorway I had the 2-3 pings and a warning message saying check coolant but the temp gauge was normal. When I arrived at my...
