I m not surprised guys.With these lovely cars everytime you fix something something else goes!
i recently replaced my expansion tank and associated hoses.
I then started getting a gradual coolant loss so much so that i keep a premixed top up solution in my boot.
On investigating further i then found that my passenger side carpets where wet! I deducted that the heater or heater hose was the problem and at the thermostat i brigded the two ends thereby bypassing the heater.I will tackle it in the summer.
I STILL HAVE COOLANT LOSS!
I cannot find any obvious leaks.My clamps are all tight.My temperature gauge operates beyond 90 but the fan kicks in normally...both stages.Its running hotter than normal though for my car.I have not attempted a longer drive up hills etc but the gauge comes right down,50, at speed and climbs steadly around town.
I think i need a waterpump!Remember i have a 3.2.so its a plastic not metal impeller pump.i have not been able to check around the waterpump for leaks.
Any other ideas?
