Hi everyone hope we are well
So driving my Leon cupra this morning for about 10 mins and it came up on the dash check coolant, had a look and it’s nearly all gone now I checked the level two days ago and was between the min and max level, checked for leaks and I can not see anything, am completely baffled. Few people said prob water pump but I have never known one to fail on a four year old car with 33k on the clock any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks

Have a look in the Leon Mk3 threads in the SEAT car forums, as well documented this loss of coolant problem.

Water pump and thermostat housing are weak points on VAG’s 2.0 EA888 petrol engine. Lots of discussions on Golf forums - and lots of water pump / thermostat housing replacements on mk7 / mk7.5 performance Golfs.

Thanks pal it’s going in on Monday to be looked at. Thing is I had a good look today around engine and floor and no signs of leaks/wet etc 🤷🏻‍♂️
