 Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2003 5:33 pm Post subject: Leaking cooling system |
 |
|
Yesterday, after not driving my car for about a week, I discovered a big pool of cooling liquid around my car. I topped up the cooling system with about 3 litres of liquid, and already the car has lost quite a bit of this. Any easy way to discover were my cooling system is leaking? Don't want to change all the hoses if there is an easier way.

Have a good goosey under the bonnet and from underneath.
If nothing obvious warm car up to normal temp and have another look,you should see something when its under a bit of pressure. |
