G60 Water Leak

Recommended Posts

:( Got a water leak on the front of the engine block where a couple of pipes attach from various places. Unit about centre of the engine behind rad. Anybody know what this is???

 

:p Also what is a good mix for the collant for a g60? Don't have any problems with overheating but as i have to drain system to fix leak would be a good idea to change it

Do you mean the connection where the top rad hose goes into the block and via a plastic pipe with the blue and black sensors in?

 

If you you should be able to a) if your lucky replace the 'O' rings for the sensors and all will be fine,

or B) change the plastic pipe that connects all the hoses to the block.

 

Use new G12 plus antifrezee/coolant from VW instructions are on the bottle for the correct mix for your climate.

 

I'd change the thermostate and flush the system with distilled water is you drain the system.

Easy to change. Buy the whole flange and clip and somethign else (3 parts) from VW for about £15 and swap them over... Check the one on the right hand side of the engine at the same time cos as soon as you fix one - the other will go...
