loosing water
« on: 28 June 2014, 09:57 »
Hi all. I have a bora 1.9 115 bhp and I am losing water from the coolant tank. It looks like it coming from the overflow bit and running down then side and out. I've replaced the coolant tank but it still does it.

change the cap this may have given up or the thermostat might be dud. do those 2 thibgs 1st as theyre fairly cheap.  if not id say head gasket leaking between the bore and a waterway. when its blowing the water out of the overflow are the water pipes very hard? the 115 ajm engines are probe to this happening apparently
i think i love you.....
