TimDoc 0 Posted July 7, 2009 Just changed the radiator as it was hosing coolant all over the engine bay - prob from a rouge stone. Cleaned the engine bay, went on a long run to cornwall and back, and noticed that there is again some coolant leakage sat on the slam panel. Not obvious where it came from. Took it to a chap locally who is clued up on it and he had a look in the engine bay - whilst there he commented on how highly pressurised the coolant system was. Also, despite changing all of the oil, filters, plugs and coolant. The car will still run up to oil temp of around 118 on occasions. There are no engine mods to account for this. Also just replaced the MAF in the last few days for other reasons. Any advice welcome and appreciated Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STORMv6 0 Posted July 10, 2009 hi, sorry to hear this, maybe check the thermostat housing get a mirror and check for leaks more than likely there is a split there :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vagingit.co.uk 0 Posted July 13, 2009 This has been happening with my other halfs corrado 16v of lately, after getting it for her, we had a series of small annoying coolant leaks, which we put down to old age - thermostat housing, small pipe on the side of the engine, and then the waterpump leaked. it turns out the cooling system has too much pressure building up, and unfortunately,its because the headgaskethas gone! :( thus, this is why we kept having coolant leaks as the pressure was forcing coolant out of the weakest point! hope its not the same with yours, but get it checked out mate!
