HELP BEFORE I BURN IT!!!
« on: 01 September 2009, 19:19 »
RIGHT... I have an ongoing problem with the water system on my car. 2000 1.9tdi 115bhp. Losing water after 2-3 days not alot, just enough to set off the level indicator. Top up then fine for another few days. Have done all the usual suspects.

Water pump - Radiator - Expansion bottle & cap - Thermostat - EMTS sensor & seal - Sniffer test ( clear) Even tried a stop leak (wynns)

Im utterly confused, after I did the rad it was fine for 6 weeks, ish, then it reapeared.....

PLEASE HELP...... :sad: :angry: :cry:  :shocked: :sick:

depending on where it is leaking on a HG then the sniffer might come up negative as there are no gasses comong back into the expansion tank

Thanks for input, just trying to rule out everything before pulling head off.
