• Radiator problems on Ford Escort 28 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  12 months ago, I changed the coolant in my ford escort. In about April, I realised that the coolant level was a bit low, so I topped up with a mixture of antifreeze and water. Since then, the coolant level slowly falls, ie I have to top it up every week or two. On a few occasions, (especially
• 52 plate fiesta - radiator coolant issues 12 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  Hi All, need a bit of advice, I have a 52 plate fiesta 1.25L. 2 months ago it was over heating regularly so I put some K Seal in the Radiatior coolant which resolved the issue. however now there is steam and a hissing noise coming from the radiator coolant screwcap. There is also the same

  Hiya, Have just replaced the turbo on my 1 series 120d, while there the tech found a mucky caramel coloured film on top of the coolant, he advised he has not seen this type of thing before, there was nothing in the oil and the engine isn't over heating so I am desperately
• Volkswagen Polo III (1994 - 1999) - 1995 1.4 Coolant not reaching radiator pump 21 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Need some help! 1995 N Reg 1.4 Polo Had a problem with engine overheating. Thermostat has been replced and new pump. The coolant isn't reaching the radiator, in turn the fan can't come on. We've checked for blockages. Does anyone have any idea why the coolant wouldn't reach the radiator when
• Renault Megane (1996 - 1998) - 1996 2.0 Where is the coolant temp sensor? 11 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  hi hopefully a quick and simple question, does anyone know where the coolant temp sensor is on a '96 2.0l 8v renault megane? i'm guessing it's either the 3 pin green sensor or 2 pin white sensor in the thermostat housing but it would be great if someone could definitely confirm which it is. also i
• Vauxhall Corsa C (2000 - 2006) - 01 1.7Di red coolant: what is "life of vehicle"? 28 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  The service schedule and Haynes both say that the coolant should survive the life of the vehicle. Exactly how long is this, and is this calculated by saying the corrosion inhibitors will last for 5 years and then it'll start rusting away until it fails at 10 years i.e. end of life? Red coolant
• VW Mk2 Golf - coolant system trapped air 30 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I have a VW MK2 Golf 1300. Two weeks ago I put in a new radiator. Unfortunately there is trapped air at the thermostat housing. I say this because the coolant temperature dial stays at zero and the temperature sensor for the dial is fixed at the top of the thermostat housing. The coolant
• Renault Megane Coupe - Coolant heater 27 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  2012 Megane Coupé 1.6dci with an intermittent EML. I’ve had it plugged into a Renault diagnostic laptop which is flagging up ‘secondary coolant heater’, but I’m not convinced it has one. Has anyone got access to a wiring diagram for the car? The Haynes manual doesn’t cover this engine.
• VW G12 coolant replacement 16 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  This stuff is expensive at £7ish for 1.5 litres. Is there any substitute that can be reliably used, bearing in mind the specific VW anti-corrosive requirements? As a thought - does anyone know what coolant is used in the Ford Galaxy diesel engine as I think this is a VW PD unit. Any help

  I cant refill with coolant without air locking. The system will only take 3 litres out of 5 initially and when i run the engine, it just boils and overflows(cap left off). Can anyone offer any advice please?
• Ford Fiesta - Coolant / Antifreeze tank empty during lockdown? 2 Sep 2020 (Forum)
  Like some, I've not used my car since lockdown back in March this year. However, I've noticed that the coolant tank is completely empty - it looks like it has evaporated dry over the past five months. Is this to be expected to an extent, considering the weather we've endured
• FIAT PUNTO 2005 - FIAT PUNTO AIR LOCK 16 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  I have a Fiat Punto 2005 1.2 8V. I recently changed the coolant but now have a gurgling water sound behind the dash. This becomes apparent when I start the engine, rev the engine or when I go round a small bend. This is an airlock in the heater matrix. How do I get rid
• Coolant Change 22 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  I'm being very pedantic here, before anyone says it - but my car was paid for by a sum of money I can't see myself coming to again any time soon, so it has to last. I changed the coolant, didn't get all of it out and my Dad flushed it through with a watering can (I wasn't going to do this myself
• Honda Jazz coolant 13 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, I need to top up the coolant in my Jazz and the local dealers don't seem to be able to supply the "long life type 2" stuff that the Jazz seems to wants. Given the car is only six months old I suspect that it didn't have enough coolant from day 1 - nice PDI from the Honda dealer! The dealers
• Rover 214Si Coolant 19 May 2004 (Forum)
  K reg 107K miles. I am going to change the coolant soon. I am led to believe that these engines are rather sensitive to coolant or lack of it. The Haynes manual graphically describes how to replace the coolant but my car does not have a bottom drain plug on the radiator nor does it have
• Skoda Fabia coolant loss 19 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  In the Car-by-Car Breakdown HJ has put the following comment. >What to Watch Out For >Make sure the 1.4 8v is not losing coolant and has not overheated through loss of coolant in the past, possibly due to friction on the bottom hose as a result of soft engine mountings. I had been noticing that I
• Honda Jazz - change thermostat when changing coolant 27 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  HI, i want to get the coolant changed since it has done over 7 years without a change but everything is still fine, do i need to have the thermostat change at the same time? Does flushing the system a must? Please help.
