pauliegannon 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Got my raddo back after its NCT or Mot and it drinking water and coolant again like a good thing.The car failed for the handbrake but Im happy enough with that but this coolant problem is driving me nuts.Got a new part fitted to the block 2 months ago and it hasnt been using water up till now.OK I drove it pretty hard over the weekend and the test would have tested it pretty hard but does a raddo use more water as it gets older or has anyone had this intermitent problem as well?

sciroccotune 0 Posted April 18, 2006 it could just be a case of a few leak which can happen as they age, start with thge cheap stuff first like a new filler tank cap and make sure all hoses are secure. Is there any oil in the water tank? if so could well be head gasket etc.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pauliegannon 0 Posted April 18, 2006 No oil tank but there is a small bit of oil leaking from around the gasket.The garage advised me that the oil was coming from the rocker cover,head gasket or both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
