4stud 0 Posted April 18, 2005 It's been about 4 days since i last topped it up and now the light is flashing again. It's a 2l 16v 93 k plate. There is no water in the oil and the garage cant find a leak under the bonnet. I have a wet carpet on the drivers side near the seat so what could this be? The other side is dry. It cant be the head gasket because there is no power loss. I have been told a new gasket would be 700-800 big ones so please tell me my problem can be solved in 10 mins. Any ideas? Cheers....

Henny 0 Posted April 19, 2005 whoever told you £7-800 for a headgasket is either a main dealer or a rip-off merchant! :| You're looking at half that from a specialist... 8) Anyway, check around all of the water pipes in the engine bay for "snail trails" which are left by slight leaks. Also replace the expansion tank cap (the bit where you fill up the coolant from) as these have a seal in them which is known to give up over time and cause slight leaks of steam which won't leave much (if any) evidence of the leak... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
