Hi all,

Jumped (well slid) into my car this morning, started her up and got a BONG! dont drive, coolant level low warning lamp on.

Simply topped up to about 75% of the two marks with some W12? coolant that I had Luckily.

Is it normal to lose some coolant/ fluid? should i be concerned about a leak somewhere?

Mine did the same this morning. I thought it may be due tot he cold weather?

Sounds like a faulty coolant sensor, sometimes the cold causes all sorts of problems, mine did the same too!

As others have said, I had a leaking flange. This thread might come of use for part numbers etc - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=100997.0
