  1. Hi, I'm aware about this being a corrado forum but someone had highly recommended me to post the car problem on here due to the highly experienced people on this forum along with the vast amount of knowledge they have also have. Kind regards
  2. Hi, I have a MK4 Golf PD 130 86000 miles regular vw parts service and have had the water puump cam belt service carried out summer 2008- service on long life. Now im loosing water from the water coolant tank (where you put antifreeze in) when im driving on the motorway for more than 30mins at a speed of 80-90mph. When accelerating when driving through the town the engine makes a churning noise (like a clicking noise). I've taken the vehicle to a VW/Audi Specialist and the following test have been done along with the results have been found: 1)Pressure test to coolant system = slowly loosing pressure. 2)Clamped off heater matrix = which reduced loss of pressure. 3)Carried out cylinder block test=failed - this meant carbon monoxide from the engine is entering the cooling system, possible head gasket, cracked block/cylinder head or oil cooler. Further i have been told after these tests were carried out and the results found that the following needs to be carried out: 1) Requires Stripping for investigation 2 Recheck heater matrix once engine passes block test. And also a couple of months ago i put radwell in the coolant tank as i was told it could be a leak in the radiator, but this only messed things up more. Now i have to carry a bottle of water around with me just in case if the car needs a top up of water + antifreeze. ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE, PLEASE HELP. THANKS
