Title: Water pouring out the water tank!
Post by: jocarl11 on 26 September 2010, 12:15

Hi guys, water is p1ssing out of the filler tank on my 16v but it seems to be coming up from the electrical connection plastic nut and not the cap! Is this a common problem or could it be the head gasket? The water doesn't boil and there is no oil in the water which must be a good sign?

Cheers.

Your cap has failed,pull it off and check the seal.Most people just change them for a blue one.
The water is coming out there because there is an overflow hole in the side where you say it is coming out.

Thanks, the cap is blue but I can hear hissing from it when the engines warm so must be that then! Cheers for the help  :smiley:
