• Honda Jazz coolant 13 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, I need to top up the coolant in my Jazz and the local dealers don't seem to be able to supply the "long life type 2" stuff that the Jazz seems to wants. Given the car is only six months old I suspect that it didn't have enough coolant from day 1 - nice PDI from the Honda dealer!
• Rover 214Si Coolant 19 May 2004 (Forum)
  K reg 107K miles. I am going to change the coolant soon. I am led to believe that these engines are rather sensitive to coolant or lack of it. The Haynes manual graphically describes how to replace the coolant but my car does not have a bottom drain plug on the radiator nor does it have the vertical filling point on the top hose.
• Skoda Fabia coolant loss 19 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  In the Car-by-Car Breakdown HJ has put the following comment. >What to Watch Out For >Make sure the 1.4 8v is not losing coolant and has not overheated through loss of coolant in the past, possibly due to friction on the bottom hose as a result of soft engine mountings. I had been noticing that I was loosing coolant in my car - not excessively but I was having to top it up every 1,500 miles or so to keep above the "min" level.

• Vauxhall Mokka X - Car Is Losing Coolant - Advice Welcome 13 Mar 2022 (Forum)
  I took it to the main dealer thinking it might be a gasket problem. They tested the coolant pressure which they said was ok after running the engine for an hour. They then fitted a new cap on the coolant tank just in case the loss was due to evaporation. This didn't work so I'm still slowly losing coolant.

• Citroen Xsara Diesel 'Y' Reg - Citroen Xsara Diesel loosing coolant water 26 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, I have noticed that the car is loosing coolent water, because I have to fill it up every day or 2.   The car never overheats on long drives, but the coolant warning light come on when I drive in heavy traffic. The cars performance is OK and I cant see any water in the oil, or see water on the floor.  Not sure what to look for.  Replaced the coolant pressure cap with a new, made no difference Eddie
• Mercedes Benz E-Class W124 (1985 - 2000) - 1992 2.3 Oil in the Coolant Reservoir 4 May 2008 (Forum)

• Passat TDI coolant temperature gauge 12 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  My friend has a Passat TDI 115 and has a problem with the coolant temperature gauge. As the car warms up it just comes on to scale and slowly rises just short of normal temperature then quickly falls back off scale and continues to cycle like this whilst the car is running.
• Punto Coolant Problems 5 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  It now makes lots of gurgling and sloshing noises which you can hear inside the car if stationary and rev. The coolant level keeps rising and will explode from the top up if you take the cap off even after a short journey. Its had the thermostat changed and the coolant system flushed but it is still happening.

  I'm looking at buying a renault scenic but the seller say's it's just started to drip coolant somewhere near the bottom hose where it meets the water pump. Is this a big job to sort ? and what would I need to sort it ? or is it just best to stay away. Damsel in distress :-)

• Coolant condition/age, change or not? 4 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Hello, If coolant is ok in specific gravity terms, i.e. is proving the required protection from freezing should it still be changed on an age basis? I am getting differing views on this. To put it another way can it's corrosion resistance and lubricity diminished even if it's anti freeze properties are intact?
